About the Nike SB Dunk High "Purple Box"

Nike SB's 'Purple Box' Dunk High borrows its name and its story from the brand's own packaging: the box color changed by era through the 2000s, and this pair prints a cartoon style collage of those old boxes on the inner lining as a direct callback. The black upper pairs premium suede with faux ostrich leather panels, while Purple Haze detailing and 3M reflective piping trace the edges of the overlays.

Released on December 26, 2016 at $130, the colorway also reads as a quiet nod to a well known purple and black SB Dunk from a decade earlier, without repeating its build. Zoom Air cushioning and the padded tongue and collar of the standard Dunk High Pro SB carry through underneath the premium materials, keeping the skate specific construction intact even as the upper leans dressier than a typical team colorway. At $130 it sat above the standard SB Dunk retail price of the era, reflecting the higher grade leather used across the upper.
