Official Images of the Nike SB Dunk Low “Som Tum” (Green Papaya Salad)

Nike SB is taking its legendary “food-themed” storytelling to the streets of Southeast Asia. Following in the footsteps of previous culinary classics like the “Chunky Dunky” and “Jarritos,” the Swoosh has officially unveiled the Nike SB Dunk Low “Som Tum.” Named after Thailand’s iconic green papaya salad, this release serves as a vibrant, multi-textured tribute to Thai street food culture and artisanal craftsmanship. Whether you’re a fan of the spicy dish or just a collector of intricate Dunks, this pair is already being called the most flavorful drop of the season.

The Nike SB Dunk Low “Som Tum” Design

The “Som Tum” (Style Code: IB6206-701) isn’t just a colorway; it’s a recipe translated into a sneaker. Every material choice reflects an element of the traditional Thai dining experience. A textured blend of Natural Beige and Parachute Beige. The mid-panels and toe box feature a woven textile that mimics the traditional bamboo baskets (kratip) used to serve sticky rice. Premium Vachetta Tan suede provides a rugged, earthy base, representing the clay mortar used to pound the salad’s ingredients.

Vibrant Blaze Orange (or Bright Crimson) hits appear on the thick laces and contrast stitching—a direct nod to the fiery Thai bird’s eye chilies that give Som Tum its signature heat. The true storytelling happens inside. Flip the tongues to find embroidered graphics: a Som Tum mortar and pestle on the right and a woven rice basket on the left. The heel features a Metallic Silver tab with “Nike” written in Thai script, while the insoles are printed with graphics inspired by industrial jasmine rice bags.
