Which sneaker collaboration was the first Nike SB Dunk released in partnership with Supreme in 2002?

The Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low was the first Nike SB Dunk collaboration released with Supreme, arriving in 2002.

The collaboration drew on the Air Jordan 3 by using elephant-print panels, a detail that made the low-top Dunk immediately distinctive. It was released in three colorways, including black, varsity red, and hyper royal combinations, each with metallic gold accents.

The project helped establish the modern sneaker-collaboration model in which a limited product connected skateboarding, streetwear, and collectible fashion. Supreme was already influential in New York streetwear, while Nike SB was building a dedicated skateboarding line.

The collaboration is sometimes confused with later Supreme Nike releases, including Air Force 1 and Blazer projects. Those came afterward; the 2002 SB Dunk Low is the landmark first Supreme-Nike SB Dunk partnership.
