Since 2001, Brooklyn’s KCDC Skateshop has been promoting the idea of “Unity Makes Strength.” As a female-owned institution, the shop has championed handfuls of issues historically omitted from skateboarding’s story. As KCDC approaches its 20th anniversary, the Amy Ellington-led team has brought its creativity to a Frame Skate x Nike SB Dunk Low Habib CT2550-600 High collaboration.
While the inspiration behind the newly-surfaced pair has yet to be disclosed by any party involved in the project, the skate-ready sneaker features two shades of pink suede across its upper. Likely Force to match the now-pink brick of its storefront on 80 North 3rd Street, the soft, durable material is contrasted by stark black detailing both throughout the top and bottom halves. Profile swooshes, laces and midsoles opt for the pitch-dark tone, while tongue labels follow suit, but also boast the shop’s inaugural year underneath standard “NIKE SB” text. Lastly, brownish rubber tread underfoot and “KCDC” logos on the heel pull tabs round out the commemorative Nike Dunk.
Enjoy early on-foot shots of the pair here below, and expect an exclusive release at KCDC Skateshop soon.
