Manchester’s beloved core shop NOTE has baked its city’s personality straight into a Nike SB Dunk Low—and the result is a delicious blend of storytelling, skate function, and collector-friendly details. Brew and Biscuits lifts the visual language of Britain’s favorite break (tea time) and plates it on a biscuit-tan suede Dunk with cookie-print liners and removable Swooshes you can switch on the fly. Expect a lively release: shop collabs with a clear theme and premium materials have a track record of moving fast across SB accounts and SNKRS.

Design

The base recipe is tactile and wearable. Uppers arrive in buttery biscuit-tan suede that breaks in quickly but still stands up to grip tape. Clean white midsoles and creamy rubber outsoles keep the palette versatile, letting the theme do the talking without overwhelming your fits.

Open the shoe and the narrative snaps into focus. Collars and footbeds feature a photoreal biscuit assortment—from chocolate chip classics to wafers—finished with SB and NOTE callouts hiding among the treats. Tongue labels stick with straightforward NIKE SB DUNK LOW PRO text, while NOTE embroidery on the heels nods to the shop’s roots without shouting.

The headline feature is a swappable Swoosh kit. On sample pairs you’ll find:

• a pink wafer Swoosh with grid texture,
• a chocolate-bar brown Swoosh with a pebbled bite, and
• a buttery yellow option that matches the upper for tonal days.

They attach and detach in seconds, so you can dress the shoe to your mood—loud for the session, minimal for everyday. Flip the pair over and there’s a playful tea ring stamped onto one outsole, like someone set a mug on the shoe mid-break. It’s cheeky, very British, and exactly the kind of detail SB diehards love discovering.

Under the hood it’s still a Dunk Low Pro: padded tongue, supportive collar, a durable cupsole, and that familiar balance of board feel and impact protection. Laces arrive with subtle cookie-crumb flecking; the suede is cut clean, with stitch lines that emphasize the Dunk’s classic panels.

Why this works

Great SB collabs start with a simple, specific idea and commit to it. Brew and Biscuits does exactly that. The color story is easy to wear, the prints reward close looks, and the Swoosh kit gives real play value—this is a shoe you’ll actually keep in rotation because it can morph with your wardrobe. For skaters, the suede and cupsole will hold up; for collectors, the packaging of theme plus interactivity checks all the boxes that drive demand.

Outlook and hype

Early reactions are very strong. Shop-led SBs that capture local culture—think food, rituals, inside jokes—tend to resonate far beyond their city. Add in the modular Swooshes and the tea-ring Easter egg and you have a pair that looks great in photos and even better in hand. Expect raffles to be competitive, especially in the UK and EU, and a quick sell-through on SNKRS. Prices should stay approachable at launch because of wider distribution than a hyper-limited quickstrike, but pairs with complete Swoosh sets will be the ones people chase later.

SB lineage and context

The NOTE Dunk sits comfortably in SB’s long tradition of story-driven shop projects—shoes that double as postcards for local culture. From food themes to city callouts, these pairs became community markers as much as footwear. Brew and Biscuits continues that line with restraint and humor: the suede and neutral blocking keep it wearable; the prints and Swoosh kit make it memorable. It’s the kind of collaboration that feels authentic to the skate shop model—creative, personal, and made to be skated.

Final take

Brew and Biscuits is SB at its charming best: premium materials, a theme that makes you smile, and smart, practical details that earn the shoe a place in daily rotation. If you’re into Dunks that tell a story without sacrificing performance, don’t sleep on this one.
