In 2005, an Osaka crew led by Shinpei Ueno shone a light on the nocturnal artistry of Japanese skateboarding. Through his travels and 15 years crafting the underground video series Lenz, he helped spread the quick-footed style and explorations of colour and environment that are now a hallmark of the local scene—and the TIGHTBOOTH®︎ aesthetic.
Born out of necessity, the Nike SB x TIGHTBOOTH®︎ Dunk Low Pro draws from the freedom of nighttime in the streets. Textural overlays emulate the metal grates encountered and employed during after-dark sessions. Reflective design Swoosh panels, a co-branded tongue and subtle hits of Safety Orange bring the spirit and synergy of TIGHTBOOTH®︎’s visual identity to the iconic Dunk.
