The highly anticipated Nike SB Dunk Low Pro x Yuto Shoe (HF8022-300) is set to land at Boardertown on April 5, 2025. This latest collaboration between Nike SB and Japanese skateboarding legend Yuto Horigome brings a fresh twist to the iconic Dunk Low silhouette with its stunning "Matcha" colourway.
Who is Yuto Horigome?
Yuto Horigome is a name that resonates deeply within the global skateboarding community. Hailing from Tokyo, Japan, Horigome made history as the first-ever Olympic gold medalist in men’s street skateboarding at the Tokyo 2020 Games. He didn’t stop there – he cemented his legacy by clinching a second consecutive gold at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Known for his technical precision, effortless flow, and ability to land jaw-dropping tricks under pressure, Yuto has become a trailblazer in the sport. His partnership with Nike SB reflects his influence, blending Japanese heritage with skate culture to create sneakers that are as functional as they are stylish.
Yuto Horigome’s First Nike SB Pro Shoe
Back in 2023, Yuto debuted his first Nike SB Dunk Low Pro, featuring a premium "Wolf Grey" colourway with white, brown, and light pink accents, the shoe was a nod to his understated yet impactful style. Twin feather logos – inspired by his family crest – adorned the lateral heel, while custom insoles and a durable brown outsole rounded out the design. This debut set the stage for Horigome’s ongoing collaboration with Nike SB, proving his ability to merge performance with cultural storytelling.
The Matcha Colourway: Design Features and Inspiration
The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro x Yuto Shoe (HF8022-300), dubbed the "Matcha" colourway, takes inspiration from the earthy tones of Japanese tea culture and Horigome’s heritage. This sneaker boasts a lush mix of Asparagus, Legion Green, Light Khaki, Dark Loden, Sesame, and Burnt Sienna hues, creating a natural palette that’s both bold and balanced. The upper combines soft Light Khaki suede with speckled Asparagus leather overlays, delivering a textured, organic vibe. Dark green Swooshes sweep across the sides, complemented by a brown textile collar and subtle "NIKE" embroidery in dark gold on the heel.
Yuto’s personal touch shines through with his family crest feather logo stamped on the lateral heel, a tribute to his Japanese roots. Inside, custom graphic insoles add a layer of detail, while the padded tongue and Zoom Air heel unit ensure top-tier comfort and impact protection. The white midsole with light green stitching sits atop a dark green rubber outsole, tying the design together with a cohesive, grounded look.
