Nike SB Dunk Low 'Civilist' (2020)

The Nike SB Dunk Low 'Civilist' (2020) stands as one of the most innovative and unique releases in the history of the SB Dunk series. In collaboration with Berlin-based skate shop Civilist, this sneaker redefines the boundaries of design with its groundbreaking heat-sensitive technology, transforming its appearance based on temperature changes. Overview At first glance, the Nike SB Dunk Low 'Civilist' features a subdued black leather upper. However, the real magic happens when exposed to heat—revealing a vibrant, multicolor thermal imaging effect beneath the surface. This dynamic transformation covers the entire upper, creating a one-of-a-kind look with hues of red, yellow, blue, and green emerging from the black base. A white midsole and a black rubber outsole provide a clean contrast, ensuring the sneaker remains visually balanced despite its bold thermochromatic design. The classic padded tongue, synonymous with SB Dunks, enhances comfort and skate-ready functionality. Nike branding is subtly incorporated with a yellow Swoosh tag on the tongue and a tonal embroidered Civilist logo on the lateral side near the heel. Key Highlights • Heat-Sensitive Upper: The black leather exterior reacts to heat, revealing a vibrant, multicolored thermal imaging effect. • Berlin Skate Scene Influence: Created in collaboration with Civilist, a renowned Berlin-based skate shop, celebrating street culture and creativity. • Classic SB Dunk Construction: Features a padded tongue and Zoom Air cushioning in the insole for enhanced comfort and performance.
