Alexis Sablone’s Limited-Edition Nike SB/Converse Pack, Inspired by Chameleons
Although Alexis Sablone didn’t compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Connecticut-born skater significantly impacted the international stage by designing the Nike SB Olympic kits for Team USA and Japan.

With the conclusion of the Paris Games, Sablone’s sneaker duo is set for a limited release as a 500-pair pack on August 22nd, complete with custom packaging. According to Sneaker News, the boxes, featuring Sablone’s signature purple and individual numbering, are adorned with a glossy, abstract gold pattern that mirrors the footwear's design.
The sneaker designs draw inspiration from chameleons, incorporating wear-away fabrics and reptilian textures. The SB Dunk Low features camo green overlays that reveal a fuchsia base layer over time, while the AS-1 Pro sports textured white leather with a pink layer underneath.
After a limited release at select skate shops, the Alexis Sablone x Nike SB/Converse pack will be available through a Nike SNKRS draw on August 29th at 10:00 AM EST, retailing at $250 for the pack. The SB Dunk Low and AS-1 Pro will also be available individually on Nike SNKRS for $135 and $110, respectively.
