The Nike SB Dunk Low Persian Violet continues Nike SB’s recent trend of drawing from classic ACG palettes — much like past hits such as the Celadon and Red Plum colorways.
This pair takes that outdoor-inspired look and reinterprets it perfectly for the SB Dunk line, with the purple upper balanced by pops of deep reddish brown and black and a gum sole finish. Hopefully, Nike keeps the ACG-inspired streak going — it’s been a strong formula for SB lately.
The sneakers get their nickname from the official colorway, and as a general release, there aren’t any special logos or collab graphics here — just a clean, wearable design. I’ve been on a bit of a GR streak lately, which honestly takes me back to my early days of collecting when I’d scoop up every gold box SB that dropped. SB’s general releases have been quietly excellent over the last few years, and this pair keeps that momentum going. The color blocking and the gum sole really bring that vintage outdoor vibe together.
These come in the standard purple box with two sets of SB laces — Persian Violet and Cinnamon. Simple but nice to have the lace swap option, especially when both colors work well with the palette.
Materials
Material-wise, you’re getting the usual GR suede upper with a basic leather swoosh. It’s not the plushest suede SB has ever used, but it’s consistent with what we’ve seen on recent non-collab pairs — durable and cleanly put together. For a regular release, the quality is perfectly solid for the $115–$130 price range.
Fit & Comfort
Fit is standard SB Dunk Low. I personally go a half size up for comfort, and these feel just right that way. Padding and support are in line with modern SBs — good for casual wear, skating, or just daily rotation.
If these are sold out at different stores online, you can try looking for them on eBay.
