Brew & Biscuits: The Story Behind the NOTE Manchester x Nike SB Dunk Low

The tea is finally brewing for Manchester’s own. After over 25 years as a cornerstone of the UK skate scene, NOTE Manchester is getting its first official Nike collaboration: the Nike SB Dunk Low "Brew & Biscuits".

Slated for a March 28 release, the collaboration pays homage to a quintessential British ritual: the afternoon snack. Detailed shots recently surfaced via @kcscowboys1977, revealing a palette that mimics the inviting tones of a perfectly steeped cuppa and a digestive biscuit.

High-Grain Details

The design is heavy on thematic storytelling, featuring a buttery Flax brown suede upper sitting atop a crisp white sole unit. Beyond the warm colorway, several unique features cement this pair as a cultural deep cut:

• Interchangeable Swooshes: Wearers can swap between a solid brown "croc-style" swoosh or a pink grid-patterned option.
• Biscuit Patterning: The classic flat laces and the inner lining are printed with an actual biscuit texture.
• The "Mug Ring": A visceral detail on the outsole mirrors the brown ring left behind by a hot mug of tea on a table.
• Hidden Guides: Under the tongue, you'll find a "Strength of Brew" guide alongside a "Selection of Biscuits" visual sampler.

Heritage and Hype

While NOTE Manchester might be hyper-local, their influence is undeniable. Since opening in the Northern Quarter in 1999—pre-dating the official stamp of Nike’s SB division—they have been a reliable source for gear and a strong proponent of the Orange Label program.

The NOTE x Nike SB Dunk Low is expected to drop for approximately $130 (£120). While a worldwide release is anticipated, stay tuned for official confirmation as we approach the spring launch window. The pair is expected to release on March 28, 2026 via Skate Shops followed by a SNKRS release on March 31, 2026. Until then enjoy a closer look at the pair credit to NOTE Shop.
