Nike SB Dunk Low Premium ‘Court Purple’ Sample | Size 9

Originally intended for a 2019 public release, this exceptionally rare sample never made it to the market. Adorned in a Court Purple monochrome color scheme, the shoes boast a premium suede upper, complemented by a rubber midsole and outsole.

A notable detail is the completion date specified on the sample's hangtag, which, although detached, indicates that the pair was finalized in October 2018.

The Nike SB Dunk made its formal debut in 2002 when Nike officially reworked the famed Dunk basketball sneaker originally designed in the 1980s with upgrades suited for the skateboarding community. The man behind it, former Nike executive Sandy Bodecker, is credited with building one of Nike’s most beloved subdivisions in the early 2000s with the Nike SB line.

What sets Nike SB apart from other competitive brands is the unbridled creativity, collaborators, materials, and whimsical highly thematic designs that define a generation of sneakerheads. Nike has explored hundreds of concepts – often with a sense of humor – through its Nike Dunks. From designs that range from beer bottles to guitar cases, to horror films, jewelry, animals, arts and cities – the Dunks represent some of the most beloved and creative models for the brand.
