UPDATE: Release of the Nike SB Dunk Low by Rayssa Leal

UPDATE: Unfortunately due to an overwhelming number of bots trying to purchase the majority of the stock of this shoe, we have had to shift the release to our release page. We have emailed those selected by our computer algorithm as good NOTE customers with the password to the releases site. If we have any remaining pairs left after the newsletter release, they will be available in store later in the day at NOTE Thomas Street. One pair per customer.

We'd like to apologise for any confusion this change to the release process has caused.

Exciting times ahead for skaters and dunk-heads alike, as we’ve got another humdinger of a shoe on the way -  the Rayssa Leal x Nike SB Dunk Low. This unique colourway pays homage to Rayssa Leal, the Brazilian skateboarding sensation, child prodigy and April pro. Garbed in an eye-catching mix of Pure Platinum, Deep Royal Blue, Vivid Purple, White, and Gum, these skate shoes are yet another milestone in the career of the 16 year old skater who has already left a lasting mark on the skateboarding world.

Since capturing the world's attention with a viral video heelflipping a three stair while donned in a fairy princess costume at 7 years old, Leal has continued to inspire with her style and skateboarding talent. Her journey from internet sensation to Olympic silver medalist at the 2020 Tokyo Games is pretty damn phenomenal. April Skateboards pro Rayssa Leal has time and time again dropped hammers on the SLS circuit while simultaneously killing it in the streets. April is definitely the home of skaters able to flip between competition and core street skating.

The Rayssa Leal x Nike SB Dunk Low is also a doozy of a skate shoe which is worth a look whether you’re planning to take ‘em round the the Arndale or battle the hip at Gooseside. The design, featuring Leal's logo and smiley face charms on the lace dubraes (shoelace tags to the layperson), is vibrant and unique – fitting for the young skater. This fresh design brings a hefty dose of comfort with its plush tongue and robust laces, while wrapped in a pristine white leather base with monogram accents across the sides. The swooshes carry a splash of colour, contrasting dark blue on one side and a bold Vivid Purple on the other, against the luxe tan overlays that add depth and an embossed texture to every part of the shoe. On paper it sounds like there’s a lot going on but these skate shoes are clean with a jaunty colour palette.

Set to release at 08:00 (GMT) Tuesday, 19th March 2024, on our Nike SB brand page, the Nike SB Rayssa Leal Dunk Low Premium Shoes in Pure Platinum/Deep Royal Blue is yet another mega launch this year from Nike SB. So mark your calendars, bookmark the Nike SB brand page and enjoy a first look at the shoes on hand.
