The Drop
The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro "NOTE Shop Manchester Brew and Biscuits" (IO9508-200) is a regional skate shop collab celebrating Manchester's coffee and biscuit culture—because nothing says skate fuel like a proper brew. The earthy brown tones and biscuit-inspired materials make this one of the more understated SB collabs, but that hyper-local story gives it serious collector appeal. It's the kind of release that flies under hype radar, then quietly climbs once pairs dry up.
Resell Verdict
Currently moving around $130, with asks bouncing between $76–$159 depending on size and condition. Weekly order volume (257) is solid for a regional collab, meaning there's real demand beyond the Manchester heads who camped for it. Resell trajectory feels stable—not a moon shot, but a reliable flip if you cop below $100. As supply tightens, expect slow-burn appreciation rather than explosive spikes.
Fake Tells
- ▸Tongue tag embroidery: NOTE Shop branding should be crisp, not fuzzy or off-center
- ▸Midsole cream tone: Reps often miss the aged, biscuit-like off-white—too bright or too yellow
- ▸Box label details: SKU IO9508-200 must match; fakes sometimes swap generic SB boxes
Who It's For
Serious SB collectors and UK skate culture nerds who appreciate deep-cut collabs over loud hype. Perfect for the café-to-session rotation or flexing niche sneaker knowledge at meetups.
Sizing & Fit
SB Dunk Lows run true to size, though the padded tongue can feel snug at first—break-in period recommended.
