Born x Raised Nike SB Dunk Low Release: Honoring a Streetwear Visionary
The unexpected passing of Chris Spanto Printup, co-founder of LA streetwear brand Born x Raised, sent shockwaves through the world. This tragedy led to Nike initially canceling the launch of the highly anticipated Born x Raised Nike SB Dunk Low. Just before his untimely demise, Chris Printup had made a significant contribution by providing the graduating class at Venice High School with a memorable gift. This gesture only added to the anticipation surrounding the limited release of Born x Raised's first collaboration with the sneaker giant. However, the announcement of the cancellation left many eagerly awaiting supporters feeling that it dishonored the late Chris Spanto Printup. After all, why would two brands go so far only to cancel the release?
Born x Raised, however, took to Instagram to clarify the situation. They not only confirmed the release but also provided a new release date: September 28th. To build excitement, Born x Raised announced a raffle for early access to the Born x Raised Nike SB Dunk Low through their website. Here are the details according to their latest post:
Early Access Raffle Rules: On Sunday (9/24), we're holding a raffle for Early Access spots to shop the BXR x Nike SB Dunk on bornxraised.com.

Paying attention to the details
The Born x Raised Nike SB Dunk Low is a masterpiece of sneaker design, rich in intricate details. The sneaker features blue nubuck and white leather, with distinctive inscriptions placed strategically throughout the design. The brand's motto, "One Block at a Time," is prominently displayed on the forefoot and tongue. On the inner tongue and heel tab of the midsole, you'll find the words "On the Turf." Adding a poignant touch, the laces bear the phrase "In Loving Memory," and the aglets are adorned with the Born x Raised brand name.
Release details and pricing
Details regarding other releases via Nike SB account skate shops or the SNKRS app have yet to be confirmed but will be updated as the release date approaches. Mark your calendars, as the Born x Raised Nike SB Dunk Low is set to drop on the bornxraised.com website on September 28th, retailing for $130 USD. It's a release that not only pays tribute to a visionary but also showcases the power of collaboration in the world of streetwear and sneakers.
