“A homecoming, a preservation, a perseverance. Welcome to LA. BORNXRAISED founder Chris “Spanto” Printup delivers an authentic Venice aesthetic with this Nike SB Dunk Low. Celebrating the skate DNA rooted to his community, the design tells a piece of the city’s history—that of falling down, getting up, and continuing on. Colors honor Spanto’s home turf, while a fresh perf pattern, embroidered branding and an iridescent Swoosh shows your loyalty to the movement of staying true. The brand’s catch phrase, “One Block at a Time,” repeats throughout, nodding to the need to preserve the city’s rich and eclectic culture. So drop in, turn up the music, and catch a game at the park. The grind is how you get good.”
