Nike SB Dunk Low J-Pack “Shadow” Black/Medium Grey-White BQ6817-007

Description

All “J-Pack” Dunks draw color-blocking inspiration from Jordan Brand‘s famed Air Jordan 1, making this “Shadow” style a straightforward nod to the OG AJ1 makeup of the same name.

This offering of the Nike SB Dunk Low features Grey tumbled leather on the toe, Black suede overlays, Black tumbled leather on the side panels and ankle collar paired with Grey suede Swooshes. This color-blocking scheme is undeniably familiar — it’s been in use ever since the Dunk Low‘s first “Royal” J-Pack release back in 2005.

Grey branded hits are present on the tongue and heel badges, with grey laces tying the upper together both literally and figuratively. Each insole is equipped with a Zoom Air unit loaded into the heel for impact protection. A white midsole and classic grey Nike Dunk outsole finalize the look.

Dunk vs SB Dunk: What’s the Difference Between the Sneakers?

The most noticeable difference between the two sneakers are their tongues. On the Nike Dunk, you get a slim, mesh tongue. On the SB Dunk, the tongue has been beefed up to provide more cushion and protection. By being thicker, the tongue helps with the fit as well. It enables the sneaker to mold to your feet, preventing any slipping or wiggling. The tongue is held down with elastic straps which provide an added layer of lockdown. As a bonus, it allows you to slip the SB Dunk on and off without having to mess with finicky laces.
