Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Hatch Chili
The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Hatch Chili with style code IO0427-300 references the Hatch chile from New Mexico and translates it into a palette of green, gold and roasted brown. The Dunk arrived in 1985 as a basketball shoe but was rebuilt inside Nike SB for skateboarding, with more padding, a thicker tongue and a more flexible sole. That SB construction is still what separates this build from a regular Dunk Low.
Colorway: Saffron Quartz / Pear / Sequoia
The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Hatch Chili is built from leather and suede in Saffron Quartz, a warm golden brown that forms the base. Pear and Sequoia land on the swoosh and overlays, setting the green of the chile against the warm gold, while Buff Gold and Barley soften the transitions. The heavy stitched panels and extra reinforcement in the places skate shoes wear through first are clearly visible. The thick, padded tongue is the most recognisable SB detail and adds cushioning over the top of the foot. Underfoot is the Zoom Air insole that gives the IO0427-300 the comfort a regular Dunk lacks, finished with the classic rubber outsole.
How does the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Hatch Chili fit?
The SB Dunk generally fits true to size, so your regular Nike size will usually work. The extra padding and thicker tongue do make the model sit fuller than a standard Dunk Low. If you have wider feet, your normal size is the safest bet on the IO0427-300; narrow feet can consider half a size down.
