Nike SB continues to lean into storytelling with its Dunk Low offerings, and we have another creative pair on the way. You can now add the “Som Tum” Nike SB Dunk Low to the growing list of culturally inspired releases. Known for drawing inspiration from global cuisine, Nike SB once again taps into food culture, spotlighting one of Thailand’s most iconic dishes.
This Nike SB Dunk Low is inspired by Som Tum, a spicy and flavorful papaya salad that’s both vibrant and bold. Much like the dish itself, the shoe blends colors and textures to bring the concept to life. Expect a layered build that mirrors the ingredients in Som Tum, delivering an organic look without being over the top.
Constructed with premium materials, the pair features a mix of suede and textured panels throughout the upper. Earthy tones dominate the base, while brighter accents convey the dish’s heat and freshness. The woven design pays homage to woven baskets used throughout Thailand. The theme continues with the inside of the right tongue featuring a papaya, while the left has a woven basket full of rice.
A metallic finish adorns the heel with Thai script reading “Nike.” Take the insoles out and flip them over, and you will see a lotus flower on the Zoom Air unit. Other details include a Beige rubber outsole with speckled detailing and Green in the mid-foot.
