The Nike SB Dunk

The Nike SB Dunk has become a popular "sub cultural" icon for so-called snakeheads, or enthusiastic sneaker-collectors.

Style

The Nike Dunk SB has been offered nearly in every color way on the planet. From graffiti artists to the skateboarding and basketball spectrums – many have created customized Nike Dunk SB tailored to appeal to their individual sub-cultures. As simple as these sneakers seem, Dunks are super hot and seemingly every hipster from east to west owns at least one pair.

History

Nike's basketball shoe line became fairly popular in the skateboarding scene. The Dunk became a popular shoe for skateboarders due to the stability and lower profile sole, which improved grounding performance. After some time, Nike created a Dunk specifically for skateboarders, known as the Nike SB Dunk. It featured an extra-padded "puffy tongue" and Nike's patented Zoom Air insole. Since then, SB Dunk has become a sneaker phenomena and one of the highest selling sneakers of the decade.
