Nike SB Dunk Low Pro 'Money Cat' | Size 9.5

The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro ‘Money Cat’ was released in 2007 and takes design inspiration from the Maneki Neko, the porcelain cat sculpture many Japanese restaurants and stores display to bring in good fortune. The upper consists of metallic gold synthetic leather with gold suede overlays, and contrasting red stitching. Additional red accents can be found on the tongue tag branding, the laces, midsole, and the flower design by the toe. The insoles feature a graphic of the ‘Money Cat’. 

The Nike SB Dunk made its formal debut in 2002 when Nike officially reappropriated 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. Taking inspiration everywhere from beer bottles and horror films to jewelry and significant cities, Dunks represent some of the most beloved and creative models for the brand.
