Featured is the fifth installation of the Nike SB and MEDICOM TOY collaboration, which was released through the Medicom Japan online retailer Babekub City. The fifth rendition is covered in a light grey build, with a clean midsole and white laces. Waterproof Gore-Tex fabric on the uppers adds a unique element to the design. Speaking about the collaboration, Nike SB’s Senior Creative Director Jesse Leyva said, “Medicom is just part of the fabric of Harajuku. When you look at Harajuku culture, there's streetwear. Then within streetwear, there's art, music, sneakers and toys. It all goes hand-in-hand.”

The Nike Dunk, designed in the 1980s and intended for basketball, was eventually repurposed for skateboarding. The popular model would be reworked in the early 2000s with upgrades for the skateboarding community, leading to the formal debut of the Nike SB brand. The man behind it, former Nike executive Sandy Bodecker, is credited with building one of Nike’s most beloved subdivisions with the Nike SB line.
