A longstanding staple of the American West, rodeo’s roots reach back to the 1800s. The confluence of mestizo, Indigenous, and anglo cultures the original rodeos manifested in ranch-versus-ranch showdowns, where riding and roping techniques took centerstage and rules were few. Among the pioneers of what would become an iconic American spectator sport, Black ranch owners and hands changed the face of rodeo with groundbreaking techniques and crowd-pleasing flair throughout the 1900s. An homage to America’s first action sport, the Rodeo Dunk Low's colors and details are inspired by Southwest heritage unique to its Black pioneers.
Blazing a turquoise trail, the Rodeo Dunk Low subverts conventions with bold color choices and boot stitch details in a mixed pig suede and forest leather upper. Accenting the Dunk’s iconic lines with leather piping and chain-stitched branding, dusty earth tones and Old West accents pop with hits of lightning yellow and a red translucent outsole. Riding off into the range, the custom sock liner art depicts a sun-soaked scene of the frontier exploration forged by Black culture and innovation.
