He also partnered with some of the best and most well-respected core skateboard shops, many of whom felt like they were being left behind as skateboarding was becoming more mainstream and the skate shoe brands were focusing more and more on the mall stores.
They also brought in Kevin Imamura from Stance Magazine, who came on to help with marketing strategies. Last but not least Robbie Jeffers came on board as their team manager, he already had lots of experience building skate teams coming over from Stussy. Jeffers said he wanted to start the Nike SB team with all "timeless" skaters, not the flavor of the month pros.
Nike SB launches their first-ever shoes in March of , a collection of signature Dunks to each of their pros. Supreme teams up with Nike SB for their first of many successful collaborations. These were limited to pairs and are worth a ridiculous amount of money if you have a pair today. They also released collab Dunks with Zoo York and Chocolate. This is a prime example of Nike borrowing the cool from some of the most well-respected brands in skateboarding. P-Rod is in the prime of his career at this point and is viewed by many as the gold standard of pro skateboarders, this really solidifies Nike SB as a player in the skate shoe world.
His first ad was shot by Atiba and is him doing a switch flip front board on a handrail in Supreme Dunk "Gold Star" Highs. In an interview with P-Rod he said he didn't know they were Supreme Dunks when he put them on for the ad, he just picked them out of a package Nike sent him because he thought they looked dope.
This year saw some of the craziest shoe releases in history. In March , the Pigeon Dunks are released. Nike Sb partners with New York City designer Jeff Staple to release a city dunk designed by him and representing his city.
Staple designed a pigeon to put on the heel of the dunks, a true representation of the city. No one could have guessed the demand these shoes would have, not even Staple. The Dassler family began manufacturing shoes after World War I. Are dunks SBS? Regular Dunks simply use unpadded nylon or mesh tongues. Air Jordans is an American brand of basketball shoes, athletic, casual, and style clothing produced by Nike.
So, generally speaking, Nike Dunks fit true to size regardless of the silhouette, colorway, or design. The Nike Dunks fit true to size so I recommend just going for your regular Nike shoe size. Leather sneakers with flat toeboxes like Dunks crease easily, damaging their appearance and desirability in the eyes of Nike aficionados.
The major difference between the two types of shoes is, obviously, the ankle collar height and that the high tops are usually a bit heavier. The most important difference is that high tops are made more for big men, whereas low tops are more guard-oriented shoes.
Unlike other skate shoes the P-Rod series features state of the art technology designed by Nike such as visible Zoom Air to help add cushioning as well as board feel. As the P-Rod series evolved so did the technology, with 5 different series the P-Rod shoe continues to be a highly sought after skate shoe for both its durability and style.
As Nike SB continued to grow their professional skate team grew as well. With each new model of shoe, Nike incorporated new technology to enhance the performance of each shoe. In Nike introduced Lunarlon, a super soft and lightweight foam into the market. The Nike SB Eric Koston was the first shoe to feature Lunarlon as well as omit the midsole entirely, enhancing impact support while keeping the shoe lightweight and flexible.
Over the past 10 years Nike SB has played a huge role in the skateboarding industry. Man 1: Dude i just got Nike SB! Quite possibly the biggest and most ridiculous fad the world will ever see. They are skateboarding shoes by Nike, and people pay shitloads of money for them when they look like they are shoes that 5-year olds would wear.
