Nike SB Dunk Early Release
Dashawn Jordan's Nike SB Dunk Low "Copperhead" announced early release March 14 at Faces Skate Shop in Tempe, AZ, with global skate shops following March 17. The post gained 62 likes and 23K views, generating significant buzz in the skateboarding community.
This collaboration is a nod to Dashawn Jordan's Arizona roots, with the "Copperhead" colorway directly inspired by the Arizona Diamondbacks' 2001 World Series hat. The design features faux snakeskin overlays, black suede, and pops of bright spruce and fierce purple, mirroring the baseball team's iconic colors. The shoe includes personal touches from Jordan, such as his name appearing on the tongue's branding. A standout detail is the gold lace dubrae shaped like a copperhead snake's fangs, adding a unique element to the design. This marks the first Nike SB Dunk Low collaboration for Dashawn Jordan, a significant milestone for the professional skateboarder. Jordan, a Chandler, Arizona native, is not only a celebrated skater with X Games medals but also a co-owner of Faces Skate Shop. The early release at Faces Skate Shop is a direct tribute to Jordan's local skate scene and his personal investment in it, having co-owned the Tempe shop since May 2022. This strategy of a local-first release is a classic move in skate culture to honor a rider's origins.
