Nike SB Zoom Air Dunk High ‘Lakers’ Sample | Size 9

This Nike SB Zoom Air Dunk High ‘Lakers’ sample features a colorway inspired by the team colors of the Los Angeles Lakers. This elusive sample, dated to 2007, never saw a public release. 

The upper features a premium yellow leather side panel and purple suede overlays. Additionally, the toe box, lace lock, heel, and Swoosh are in black suede. The pair is finished with a vibrant yellow sockliner. 

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.
