Sneaker News If it wasn’t for family. Di’orr Greenwood might not be the rising star in skate that she is today. Di’orr would steal away her brother’s Walmart-brand skateboard whenever he was off doing other activities, and her older sister would buy her skate shoes whenever she could. Even her mother encouraged her to paint on skate-decks to sell at local swap meets.
Her familial bond to family and heritage is at the core of Di’orr’s work. Born and raised in the Navajo nation, she helped pioneer a skate movement among her people, selling her artworks to help fund participation of skateboarding for the young’ins of her community. Now, she gets to express her vision with Nike SB as she embarks on a collaborative project involving two of the brand’s mainline models.
Using the SB Blazer as the base material, Di’orr injects her artwork in unprecedented ways. The honeycomb texture is chiseled in such a way that her signature peaks line the base of the midsole, rising upward like a mountain valley. That same edging is cut into the premium leather lace shroud, itself fixed onto the collar via thick stitching. That extra layer of material opens up longitudinally yet asymmetrically to reveal the standard lace collar beneath.
With official images surfacing, we now have a detailed look at this upcoming release, although firm drop info has yet to be shared. Stay tuned for updates and peruse the gallery of images just below; in the meantime, check out the images of the Di’orr Greenwood SB Dunk High.
