Other branding elements come in the form of Civilist tabs, an infrared tongue tag and Nike embroidery at the rear. Rounding up the design of the shoes is a pure white midsole paired with a black rubber outsole and a set of replacement laces that continue the colors of the heat map. Take a first look at The Civilist Berlin x Nike SB Dunk Low below and expect the shoe to release sometime this August.
Presumed to be a relatively understated collaboration initially, the pair quickly subverted assumption with an all-over thermochromic finish. Fresh out of the box, the pair seems quite neutral with a full black upper and matching accents, but once exposed to heat, a vibrant heat map reminiscent pattern begins to appear. Dark reds, lighter greens, and blues display the entire temperature spectrum, each placed as if gradating from the heel to the toe box. Neutral-toned toolings, linings, and tongues arrive bereft of the focal treatment, though the latter does deliver color by way of a variety of laces as well as yellow-checked tongue patch. Grab an on-foot look at these here and expect to learn more about the launch soon as they’re expected to land later this month.
