The Frame Skate x Nike SB Dunk Low “Habibi” draws deep inspiration from Middle Eastern culture, with a design that honors the rich heritage of the region while reflecting the colors of the United Arab Emirates flag. The dual black and white tongues represent the unity and equality between men and women, with each tongue carrying symbolic significance. The black tongue features pearl imagery, a nod to the region’s history of pearl diving, while the removable white tongue showcases a falcon to pay tribute to the ancient tradition of falconry.

Adding to the cultural storytelling, the laces are adorned with a shemagh-inspired pattern, the iconic red and white checkered scarf traditionally worn to protect from the desert’s heat and dust. Completing the look, the black aglets at the lace tips are inspired by the agal, a black rope band used to secure the head scarf, further tying the design to its Middle Eastern roots. The SB Dunk Low “Habibi” is not only a nod to tradition but also a tribute to heritage, blending iconic symbols into a modern streetwear silhouette.
