Nike SB Dunk Low "Black Spruce" Pops the Cork With Green Patent Leather, Due at Skate Shops Including NYC's

Nike SB's Dunk Low in dark green patent leather takes its cues from a champagne bottle, with gold-toned branding and cork insoles. The pair nods to the label's 2002 debut ahead of its 25th anniversary, and is listed for a November 6 release at select skate shops.

Nike SB has a new Dunk Low colorway called "Black Spruce" (style code IQ0431-300), a deep green pair said to draw its inspiration from a champagne bottle. Our listing gives a November 6 release at select skate shops, with Black Sheep named as one of them.

The whole upper is wrapped in glossy green patent leather. The Swoosh and heel tab carry metallic gold, and Sole Retriever describes the Swoosh as switching to a bright yellow like the label on a Moët bottle. It is a long way from the suede-and-leather look most SB Dunks have.

The champagne references continue in the details. The insoles are cork, the crest logo on the tongue stabilizer picks up the same accent colors, and the inside of the tongue is printed with "Depuis 2002," French for "Since 2002." Nike SB debuted in 2002, so the line reads as an early nod to the label's 25th anniversary next year. Sole Retriever frames it as a New Year's champagne toast timed to party season.

According to Sole Retriever, the first pairs went out to skate legend Guy Mariano. Sneaker Bar Detroit, which spotted the sample photos in May, had pointed to a Holiday 2026 release.

It has been a busy year for Nike SB, including the debut of its Air Force 1 remix, but Sole Retriever still calls the Dunk Low the cornerstone of the line. The SB AF-1 City Pack, built around colorways from local shops, only just reached North American skate shops and SNKRS in late October. For a New York skate scene that follows these drops closely, this green Dunk is one to watch.
