The Nike Dunk Low SB ‘What The Paul’ pays homage to Paul Rodriguez Jr., the first skateboarder to have his own Nike shoe, by combining different elements from his signature line. The shoes are a mix of colors, textures, and materials that have been taken from various versions of the P-Rod shoe collection. They feature design details like the elephant print overlays and toe boxes from the J-Rod edition, which were inspired by the 'Mexican Blanket' and 'Stash' colorways of the P-Rod 1. Furthermore, the shoes include a quilted lining from the P-Rod 2 and a metallic lace jewel that was borrowed from Rodriguez's Mexico-themed SB Dunk High released in 2020.
