Di'orr Greenwood is a name that's been gaining traction in both the art and skateboarding worlds. Hailing from a diverse heritage that blends urban influences with a deep appreciation for nature, Greenwood's art is a testament to her rich cultural background. Her work, often characterized by vibrant, organic motifs, and intricate patterns, tells a story—a narrative deeply rooted in her personal journey and connection to the environment.

Greenwood’s foray into the world of skateboarding was as serendipitous as it was impactful. Initially a platform for self-expression and freedom, skateboarding soon became a canvas for her artistic expressions, paving the way for a fusion of her two passions. Her design ethos, centered around her Navajo heritage, has resonated with many in the skateboarding community.


The Nike SB x Di'orr Greenwood Collection

The partnership between Nike SB and Di'orr Greenwood brings forth two classic silhouettes reimagined through Greenwood's artistic lens: the Dunk High Decon and the Blazer Mid. These models are not just sneakers; they're wearable pieces of art that embody the spirit of skateboarding while showcasing Greenwood’s unique aesthetic.

The Dunk High Decon stands out with its deconstructed design, bright colours and organic patterns referencing Di'orrs heritage that seem to flow seamlessly across the shoe. Greenwood’s influence is evident in every panel with mesmerizing artwork adorning the sneakers.

The Blazer Mid, on the other hand, serves as a canvas for Greenwood's more intricate designs. The sneaker features a bold, narrative-driven pattern that wraps around the shoe referencing a traditional moccasin, telling a story of resilience, passion, and the intertwining paths of heritage and skateboarding.

This collaboration is a celebration of diversity, creativity, and the unconstrained spirit of skateboarding. By bringing Di'orr Greenwood's unique perspective to the forefront, Nike SB acknowledges the evolving landscape of skate culture—one that embraces individuality and the power of artistic expression.

The Nike SB x Di'orr Greenwood collection is available online and in select stores now.
