Working under the name SBTG, Singapore-based artist and customizer Mark Ong designed this Dunk Low Premium SB, reinterpreting the skate silhouette in his own palette. The shoe wraps the low-top build in Sable Green, set off by a metallic gold Swoosh. At the vamp, Ong's signature is embroidered in red, a detail that also matches the color of the shoe's interior lining.
A fold-over lace flap adds a printed graphic to the design, extending Ong's artwork beyond the upper's base panels. The pair released on August 8, 2006 at $90, first reaching stores in Asia. It stands as an early example of Nike SB working directly with a regional artist and customizer rather than a retailer or a signed skate team rider.
