Here we have the in-store only version of the Atlas 35mm dunk. Atlas is a long-standing skate shop that has done a hell of a job on their 35mm-camera themed collab.
You can see my article on the wider QS release here. This black version is limited to 1100 pairs and comes with a lot of extras to help round out the theme, including a certificate of authenticity, a 35mm box for the spare laces, a packet of stickers, the 35MM project book and a special orange shoebox. The Nike Dunk Low SB Atlas 35mm ISO features Atlas branding on the tongue tag, a special print on the insole and outsole and comes with black and grey laces.
A black on black fit seems the obvious choice, and that does work. So do grey jeans if you have the grey laces in. Today, I tested out a grey top with a light medium wash denim and it totally works as well. I think the laces used play a big part in what kind of outfit is going to work with these.
I wound up selling the wider release and I’ve almost sold these a couple of times as well. I’m not gonna lie, I question why I need another mostly black shoe. However, the limited nature of these definitely appeals to my collector side and the smooth nubuck materials have made these a keeper for now.
How Are The Materials?
The shoes themselves mix black suede and tumbled leather for a subtle yet high quality look. The suede/nubuck is super soft and buttery. The leather is not the best but the texturing looks good regardless if it is a bit cheap feeling to the touch. Overall the materials are above average but not super amazing.
How Do They Fit?
I feel like the Nike Dunk Low SB Atlas fit slightly snug, but are definitely comfortable. In other words, I didn’t feel the need to size up, but I do feel the snug support wrapping my foot as I wear these around. Definitely a comfortable shoe overall if you like that type of fit.
