We love it when the Nike SB division goes back to the roots and recruits skateboarders for collabs. From Rayssa Leal to Yuto Horigome, the lineup includes Olympians now too! And today, we’re going for gold with the Yuto Horigome SB Dunk Asparagus. Mind you, this is not his first rodeo with the brand, but we’ll get back to that in a bit. But before we do, make sure you check out our blog for the latest sneaker news, releases, and guides! Now, let’s hop in and find out what the Olympian and the Swoosh have in store for us, shall we?
Double the Medals and the Kicks!
So, Nike certainly knows how to pick its athletes, there’s no debating that. And getting Yuto Horigome on the SB team is a genius move. The skateboarder won his first gold medal during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. But that wasn’t the end because he came back for Paris 2024 and snatched that gold again! Now, sneaker-wise, Nike snatched him and gave us the first collaborative Yuto Horigome SB Dunk.
These babies dropped in August 2023 and retailed for $130. However, if you want a pair today, they’re worth about $330 on average in resale. So those who managed to score the kicks in bulk and flip them on the aftermarket made a nice profit! In case you missed out on these babies when they dropped, it’s fine. The upcoming Yuto Horigome SB Dunk Asparagus will be the perfect alternative!
Yuto Horigome SB Dunk Asparagus – The Only Veggie We Like
The upcoming Yuto Horigome SB Dunk Asparagus will be as cool as its predecessor! These babies will feature a beige suede base with green suede overlays. Now, the coolest bit about these babies is the cross-feather logo on the heel. That way, you won’t miss that it’s Yuto’s own design! Finally, the green leather swoosh completes the design. So all in all, it’s a pretty dope pair of kicks. We can expect the Asparagus SB Dunks to hit Nike SNKRS in Spring 2025, for $130. And if you wanna keep up with the latest updates about these kicks, keep your eyes peeled for more news. Godspeed!
