Founded in 2017, the College Skateboarding Educational Foundation (CSEF) has proven that skateboarding is more than just a sponsorship. By providing scholarships to skaters who want to pursue college, CSEF has continued to expand its impact in both skateboarding and education — raising $90,000 in 2024 alone . The goal is to support those in the skateboarding scene, regardless of their financial or personal situation, helping them achieve their goals and helping to break down stereotypes surrounding skateboarding.
The Dunk Low CSEF merges the worlds of academia and skateboarding in a design rich in details: the black and white colorway is embellished with patent Swooshes , green and yellow accents symbolic of the foundation, skate-inspired illustrations , a thin tongue, heels with athletic writing , and even a graduation touch tied to the laces. Completing the whole thing are the pencil-effect laces , the tri-color outsole and a special pink “gum” finish that reveals itself with wear, a subtle tribute to life between books and tables.
