The original Nike Dunk, introduced in 1985, was designed as a high-performance basketball shoe. However, it wasn’t until the early 2000s that Nike saw an opportunity to repurpose the Dunk for skateboarding. By adding extra padding, a Zoom Air unit in the heel, and a broader tongue, Nike transformed the Dunk into the SB model, catering specifically to skateboarders. The result was a shoe that offered both style and functionality, making it a hit among skaters and sneaker enthusiasts alike.
