Supreme, the iconic streetwear brand, has once again partnered with Nike SB to deliver a fresh take on the classic Air Darwin silhouette. The Supreme x Nike SB Darwin Low collaboration features four different colorways that seamlessly blend Supreme’s bold aesthetic with Nike SB’s skate-ready functionality.
Originally a basketball model associated with Dennis Rodman, the Nike SB Darwin Low has undergone a significant transformation for this collaboration. The most notable change is the transition from leather to canvas, bringing the shoe in line with popular Nike SB models like the Janoski. This material change not only increases durability, but also allows for more creative color blocking and graphic applications.
Supreme and Nike SB have curated a variety of colorways for this release, catering to both minimalist and statement tastes. The triple black and white on black options offer a sleek and understated look, with the latter featuring subtle sky blue accents on the eyelets and outsole. These monochromatic colorways offer a versatile and timeless appeal that can be easily incorporated into any wardrobe.
For those seeking a bolder expression, the collaboration delivers two eye-catching options. The “Volt” colorway is an unapologetic display of vibrant neon green that commands attention with its electrifying hue. The shoe is completely soaked in the “Volt” color, creating a bold and energetic look that is sure to turn heads.

The final colorway of the collection features Supreme’s signature desert camo pattern, a recurring motif throughout the Spring/Summer 2024 offerings. This design pays homage to the iconic Supreme x Air Jordan 5 collaboration, instantly recognizable to sneaker enthusiasts and Supreme fans alike. The desert camo print wraps the entire upper, giving the shoe a military-inspired aesthetic that exudes streetwear credibility.
In terms of construction, the Supreme x Nike SB Darwin Low retains the core elements that made the original Air Darwin a beloved silhouette. The shoe features a low-cut profile for increased flexibility and range of motion. The canvas upper offers breathability and durability, while the cushioned midsole provides impact protection and all-day comfort.
Supreme branding is subtly incorporated throughout the shoe with embroidered logos on the tongue and heel counter. The Nike SB logo is also present, solidifying the collaboration between these two influential brands. The attention to detail extends to the insole, which features a co-branded graphic for an added touch of exclusivity.
The release, priced at $120 per pair, are available through Supreme’s flagship stores and online platform, ensuring accessibility to fans worldwide.
