On June 7th, Australian-born skater Hayley Wilson released her first-ever collaboration with Nike—bringing her bold style and skateboarding legacy to the iconic Nike SB Dunk Low. The sneaker community was ready, and unsurprisingly, it was an instant sellout. But beyond the hype, this sneaker carries a lot of personal details from Wilson herself—making it one of the standout SB releases this year.
Who is Hayley Wilson
Before we get into styling, let’s take a quick look at Hayley’s story. Hailing from Mansfield, Victoria, Wilson is a multi-talented athlete who skates and snowboards. She got her first skateboard at just eight years old, thanks to her brother’s influence. By 15, she was competing in the X Games, becoming the youngest female competitor in the street division.
Her breakthrough came at 16 when she won her first international contest at the ExposureAM Street competition in the U.S. In 2019, Wilson’s career skyrocketed—she claimed silver medals at Street League in London and the Shanghai X-Games, and finished fourth at the Dew Tour in the U.S., earning her highest-ever global ranking of sixth.
In 2020, she won gold at the Oceania Continental Championships, securing her place on the Australian Olympic team for Tokyo 2020. Hayley became the first Australian woman to skateboard in the Olympics—a milestone moment.
With a career like that, it’s only right that she gets her own Nike SB Dunk Low—and she delivered something special.
Inside the Nike SB Dunk Low x Hayley Wilson
Wilson’s SB Dunk Low comes loaded with personal touches and unique detailing. Skate shops like Premier and Drifthouse saw these fly off shelves during early releases. Luckily, I was able to score a pair via SNKRS at the $135 retail price.
The unboxing alone is an experience. Packaged in a UV-protective bag—a rare feature used to protect icy outsoles—the sneakers come in the classic purple Nike SB box, my personal favorite.
The outsole is a translucent ice-blue loaded with detailed graphics inspired by Wilson’s tattoos. One standout graphic features a jester-style mask in black, set against the blue outsole.
Above that sits a crisp white midsole for contrast, while the light purple inner midsole continues the graphic-heavy theme celebrating Wilson’s personality and achievements.
The upper is where the sneaker really shines. It’s crafted from smooth premium suede instead of the usual leather. The Court Purple suede overlays pop against black suede side panels, ankle, and collar areas. Gothic-style lettering spells “Nike” on the ankle, with a Lagoon Pulse blue accent right above it, featuring white Nike branding.
On the tongue, you’ll find the Nike x Hayley Wilson co-branding. The sneaker also comes with three lace options—classic black, a soft light blue, and a light pink, letting you mix and match with your outfits.
How to Style the Hayley Wilson SB Dunks
The beauty of SB Dunks lies in their versatility, and this pair is no different. The bold mix of purple, black, and light blue makes it easy to dress them up or down.
How I styled them:
Top: A grey Nike t-shirt with light graphic detailing that is subtly tied in some purple and black accents—keeping it casual but coordinated.
Bottom: It’s summer, so I went with black Ron Jon shorts that featured colorful accents along the hem, echoing the sneaker’s playful yet dark theme.
Accessories: To keep the focus on the sneakers, I kept it simple with black Nike socks and a throwback Negro League New York Black Yankees cap—adding a vintage sportswear vibe to complete the look.
