The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro QS “NOTE” celebrates the first official collaboration between Nike SB and NOTE Manchester, an iconic skateshop in England’s Northern Quarter, active since 1999 and considered a pillar of the British skate scene.
Rather than creating an artificial concept, NOTE chose to represent an element deeply rooted in local culture: the British ritual of tea and biscuits, a daily moment shared among friends—just like breaks between skate sessions.
The shoe’s design is directly inspired by this English café atmosphere:
This collaboration stands out for its authentic, community-driven approach, highlighting the real life of a local skateshop rather than forced marketing storytelling—a philosophy true to the original DNA of Nike SB and the skate shop collaborations of the 2000s.
The result: a personal, culturally significant Dunk SB deeply connected to the Manchester skate scene, designed as much to be skated as collected.
