Trail Blazin’: Nike SB Dunk ‘Verdugo Mountain’ Takes the Scenic Route

are taking the scenic route with their upcoming ‘Verdugo Mountain’ – a nature-inspired nod to the rugged trails and radio towers of Southern California’s San Gabriel Valley. Expected to arrive over the coming months, this skate-ready silhouette wraps up heritage, performance, and local flavour in one trail-hugging package.

The upper is dressed in ‘Pistachio Frost’ green suede and canvas, evoking the dusty greenery of Verdugo’s switchbacks. A crisp ‘Wolf Grey’ leather Swoosh, trimmed in black, slashes across both panels, while the heel tab is decked out in black suede with an orange Nike logo hit – think burnt sunsets over Griffith Park.

Functional flair meets subtle storytelling: padded tongue tags feature an outline of the Verdugo Mountains on one side, and a mountain bike graphic on the other. The insoles take it further with a cheeky cartoon illustration of a rider cruising past hilltop radio towers – an insider wink to LA’s local scene. Underfoot, gum midsoles pair with black outsoles for all-day grip whether you're on the board or hoofing it up a fire trail.

The crew at Nike SB have been firing on all cylinders this year. Alongside the much-hyped Dunks, the Swoosh’s skate division recently brought back the fan-favourite to celebrate its anniversary. Elsewhere, Aussie ripper secured her own signature Dunk, while Nike SB also linked up with and for fresh collaborations that kept the wheels rolling.

Priced at $125, the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Verdugo Mountain’ will drop between July and September 2025 at select skate shops, Nike SNKRS, and Nike.com.
