A unique snapshot

Nike SB x Polaroid

To celebrate the interconnected world’s of skating and photography, we’ve dug into the vaults and reimagined the Dunk SB Low. The fresh colourway and use of symbol is inspired by Poloroid’s iconic look, while the silhouette remains the same, honouring skateboarding’s diverse and growing community.

To commemorate this release, we hit up photographer and NikeSB skater Sarah Meurle to capture the shoe and what it represents. Sarah travelled to Barcelona, where she linked up with her teammate Brian Anderson to skate the streets and shoot the Polaroid Dunks in action.

Sarah: “Photography and skateboarding are linked in a lot of ways. You start looking at the world differently. A city opens in a different way.”

Sarah and Brian talk about skating’s close ties to creativity, Sarah’s passion for photography, and its role in kicking down the door for more female, LGBTQ+, and non-binary representation in skateboarding.

Brian: “Female photographers like Sarah are just so important because she is going to inspire so many other young womxn. Creativity is important and now it’s being reinforced more than ever.”

The video draws from Sarah’s experiences as a female skater/photographer and Brian’s journey of coming out during the height of his legendary skateboarding career. From the point of view of the photographer, it celebrates the people who are both documenting and pushing for change.
