Created by John Rattray (skateboarder and advocate for mental health awareness), the mission of “Why So Sad?” is to help open up the conversation about suicide prevention in skateboarding and elsewhere. Helping the cause, this collaboration between Nike SB and Scottish talent will be a large part of this year’s fundraising efforts.
The Why So Sad? x Nike SB Dunk Low features a Light Blue leather base and mesh tongues paired up with Dark Blue tear-away overlays to reveal Yellow underneath. Other notable details include the embroidered skateboarding chicken motif on the lateral heel, the co-branded insoles with graphic of a bird doing a sad grab, “Why So Sad?” branding on the inner tongue tag, and question marks embroidered on the heels. Completing the look is a White midsole atop a translucent outsole.
