DNK
Low "Jackie Robinson"
The Nke Dnk Low “Jackie Robinson” is a special edition colorway that honors the life and legacy of the civil rights activist and Baseball Hall of Famer. From Nke’s July 2022 release cycle, the “Jackie Robinson” Dnk Low celebrates Jackie Robinson, who broke baseball’s color barrier in 1948. The colorway takes inspiration from Jackie’s time with the Brooklyn Dodgers, beginning with Racer Blue leather overlays on the toe cap, forefoot, eyelets, collar, heel, all of which are inscribed with inspirational quotes by Jackie. The leather base appears in a cream-grey hue. Together, the two colors are inspired by the Brooklyn Dodgers’ old team uniform colors. Other overtures to Jackie’s time on the ballclub include his “42” jersey number on the heel. A commemorative “75th anniversary” patch appears on the tongue as a salute to Jackie’s arrival in Major League Baseball in ‘48.
