The highly-anticipated Nike SB x Riot Skate Shop Dunk Low Pro hit Riot's shelves this morning out in Bordeaux and their shop team put together a proper little edit to celebrate. 

Riot has been holding down the Bordeaux scene since 2004 and has successfully "cultivated the connection between old-world craft and skateboarding culture" ever since. Peep the edit and see how the shoes look in action! And be sure to head to your local skate shop tomorrow and scoop a pair before they're gone forever.  

Alright, first of all—the Riot shop team rips! Secondly, how sick is their shop!? Those opening shots inside the place are so rad. Bordeaux has always been on my bucket list, but now that feeling is amplified! And lastly, the city has some seriously dope spots. This edit got me super fired up. The sneaky little Koston clip was a nice touch. 

And in case you haven't heard enough about the shoes yet, here's a little more info from Nike SB and Riot:

The Nike SB x Riot Dunk Low Pro incorporates regional aesthetics from Bordeaux’s rich winemaking history through custom details and finishes. Using a mahogany suede upper with deep tonal reds and black suede underlays, the Riot Dunk Low’s translucent red-toned sole reveals an homage to the grapes that create Bordeaux’s unmistakable flavor profile. The wine theme continues with gradient cork sockliner artwork, waxed seal tongue logos, and debossed heel branding. As a finishing touch, the Riot Dunk Low offers an ode to their departed shop sentinel, with an illustrated embroidered heel logo."

Some shops are doing raffles, some are running it FCFS—regardless, hit your local and get the scoop! This is a classy way to start the year, if you ask me. I'm not even a "Dunk guy" and I sort of want these. Especially after watching the Riot team make them look so sick in the streets of Bordeaux. 

If you're in one of the raffles, good luck! If not, all good. Regardless, go skate! It's Saturday.
