Nike

The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro 'True Red' was released in 2003, which also marked the sophomore year of the Nike SB and the debut of the silver box. The ‘True Red’ design features a red leather and suede base, contrasted by a black Swoosh. Notably, this pair features a stuffed leather tongue finished with black detailing, rather than  the conventional Nike SB mesh tongue. 

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.
