Description

NIKE, NIKE DUNK LOW PRO SB, SIZE 9

Rubber, Cotton, Synthetic 

2003

Released in 2004 alongside the high-top variation, the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro ‘Tweed’ sample pays homage to Scottish craft and tradition. The shoes feature a baroque brown upper and plaid wool fabrication on the heel overlay and toe box and a ‘mushroom’ tan outsole, suede Swoosh and matching laces.  


Unlike the tonal brown tweed pattern found on the general release of the ‘Tweed’, this sample pair sports a red, blue, and green tweed pattern.


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.
