Jackie Robinson broke the baseball color line when he started at first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947. To celebrate the 75th Anniversary, Nike will be redesigning a special edition Dunk Low for the occasion.
The pair is dressed in cream suede uppers and vibrant royal blue overlays setting the scene. The latter is emblazoned with a collage of Jackie’s famous quotations on equality and equity, save the Swoosh which features a dual-layered suede finish. Additional detailing, including forefoot mini Swooshes, baseball-stitch laces, and special 75th-anniversary insignia at the tongue, as well as #42 detailing at the heel, and graphic insoles that mirror the pair’s overlays. All of this sits atop a white and black sole unit, to complete the design comes with contrast blue stitching.
The Nike Dunk Low “Jackie Robinson” is scheduled to release on July 19 on SNKRS, UNDFTD and at select retailers for $130. Check out the official photos below and for all the latest drop dates, head over to our Sneaker Release Dates page.
