The Nike SB Dunk High 'Cloud' takes the skate-cut Dunk High and prints it like a summer sky. A University Blue canvas upper carries a repeating white cloud graphic from toe to collar, so the pattern wraps the whole shoe rather than sitting on one panel. White handles the contrast points: the tongue, the sockliner and the leather Swoosh all drop the print for a solid finish. The pair dropped on July 20, 2015 with the standard Dunk High Pro SB build, which brings a padded tongue and collar, elastic tongue straps and a Zoom Air unit in the heel for landings.
Canvas keeps the Cloud lighter and more breathable than the suede and leather that carry most SB Dunk Highs, and the flat print reads clean from a distance while showing its cloud shapes up close. Blue or white socks pick up the two-tone palette, and the print sits easily against neutral denim or black. It reads as a summer pair: the blue and white scheme, the airy canvas and the July release date all point the same way.
