Yuto Horigome Unveils 2025 Nike SB Dunk ‘Asparagus’ with Fresh Design and Signature Details
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Yuto Horigome is one of the biggest names on the Nike SB roster. With accolades that reinforce his status as one of the top skateboarders globally, Horigome’s collaborations with Nike SB have garnered attention for their quality and popularity among fans. His Yuto Horigome x Nike SB Dunk Low was a standout release in 2023, celebrated by young skaters and sneaker enthusiasts alike who sought to incorporate the style of the Japanese icon into their collections.
According to Sneaker News, in 2025, Horigome and Nike are introducing a follow-up to this acclaimed release: the “Asparagus” Dunk Low. This latest iteration features an updated color scheme with a speckled green suede upper and new insole graphics, with Horigome’s signature feather logo prominently on the heel.
Scheduled to drop for $135, the “Asparagus” version will be available on SNKRS and at Nike SB retailers. As the Spring 2025 launch approaches, store lists will be regularly updated to provide release and raffle details.
Nike LD-1000 Revives Retro Charm with ‘Neapolitan’ Colorway, Set for Spring 2025 Release
In parallel, the Nike LD-1000 is making a solid return, following a series of collaborations with Stüssy. The vintage-inspired 1977 trainer will soon debut in a seasonal “Light British Tan” colorway, accentuating its retro appeal with a textured waffle sole and a tan-painted midsole that enhances its classic look. Complemented by suede overlays and a tactile nylon upper, the LD-1000 maintains its timeless charm with “Pinksicle” leather accents on the Swoosh and heel tab, creating a “Neapolitan” color scheme alongside white laces and a vanilla-toned tongue.
The Nike LD-1000 “Light British Tan/Pinksicle” will be released in Spring 2025 and retail at $100. Sneaker fans can anticipate a collection of official images to help decide whether to add this pair to their rotation upon its arrival.
