Supreme x Nike SB Darwin Low
Supreme vs. Original
Original — Nike
Nike SB Darwin Low (Supreme exclusive)
About the original
The Nike Air Darwin was originally designed by Tinker Hatfield and released in 1994 as a basketball shoe popularized by Dennis Rodman, featuring one of the earliest reverse Swoosh logos in the Nike line. Skaters adopted it informally through the 1990s. Nike and Supreme reintroduced the silhouette as the SB Darwin Low for this collaboration, swapping the original leather upper for a lighter, more breathable canvas build with SB's skate-tuned midsole. The release landed May 2, 2024 in four colorways (Black, Sail, Desert Camo, and Volt) at $118 retail, with a production run of 6,500 pairs per colorway. There is no standalone Nike SB Darwin Low outside this collab.
About Nike
Nike is an American sportswear corporation founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by track coach Bill Bowerman and runner Phil Knight in Eugene, Oregon, and renamed Nike in 1971. The Swoosh was designed that same year by graphic design student Carolyn Davidson for thirty-five dollars. Bowerman prototyped the Cortez and the waffle-sole Moon Shoe, and the Air Max line, introduced in 1987, made Tinker Hatfield's visible-air midsole a signature. Nike now produces footwear and apparel across running, basketball, football, and training, and owns Jordan Brand and Converse. Supreme has collaborated with Nike repeatedly since 2002 across Air Force 1, Air Max, and Dunk.
