A show of unity and a signifier for his crew, at 14 years old, Tobias McIntosh turned impulse into action with a simple t-shirt. Love for his neighborhood being the focal point and a desire to represent the culture that inspired him to push, Tobey founded Crenshaw Skate Club on an intent of diversity, visibility, and inspiration. Along with creating a global brand and community, Tobey’s vision continues to evolve and his first collaboration with Nike SB draws from the history, colors, and iconography where it all began.
The CSC X Nike SB Dunk Low builds on the DNA of the neighborhood’s most recognizable sign the Crenshaw Square, distinct color hues and patinaed element incorporating a unique pattern rendered in crackled leather overlays that provide a foundation to his neighborhood homage. Featuring a translucent outsole and sail midsole, the Crenshaw Skate Club Dunk is packed with thoughtful details and illustrations that call back to Tobey’s youth, from the daycare-inspired cartoon illustrations to inspiring reminders stitched below the tongue. Along with multiple lace options and two separate custom insoles to switch out, more details and pieces of Tobey’s story get revealed through the skate-away material and strategic Easter eggs hidden throughout the design.
This collaboration marks Tobey McIntosh becoming Nike SB’s youngest collaborator in its history.
Available globally at select skate shops and on crenshawskateclub.com on August 5th.
