If you are in love with Nike Dunks you also love to hear the few interesting bits about them. As such, Nike Dunks is a popular name for the shoe brand interestingly referred to by people like you although many people are unaware that its official name is Nike Dunk based on the popular basketball term. However, Nike Dunk SB has an altogether different story.



You will agree with me that Nike Dunks are made with just two objectives in mind; one, it is made for the winner in you, keeping in mind the appropriate scientific features; and two- very definitely for the fashion freak that you are- if you go by the artists that designed them. The story of Nike Dunk SB is not much different from this.

You must have read countless articles or reviews on Nike Dunks and Nike Dunk SB but do you really think it is all about the much talked about features or color ways or fashionable elements that help them click like they only do? I would, for one, certainly say had it been the case, every other top manufacturer would have seen the same hype and brand loyalty building up around their brands on the same lines as seen for Nike Dunks and Nike Dunk SB. Although fashionable elements and critical features help build brand value initially, it is the general perception that lives on for ages. It is not for nothing that certain designs and models of Nike Dunks are considered timeless and highly regarded as being classic in style and durability.

Horse Hair for Nike Dunks

Nike Dunks was launched in 1985 and Nike Dunk SB was created out of this with revised paneling, light weight and low profile shoes sometime later. While Nike Dunks was hijacked by the skateboarders and the fashion brigade, Nike targeted Nike Dunk SB towards much younger generation which is now accepted as a classic fashion statement. The classic style used by Nike by getting little known basketball teams and athletes to endorse the shoes made people relate to them quicker. The college teams Nike signed up might have saved a small fortune for the company but it did the trick rather fast because of the different uniform colors which drove home the point that Nike Dunks also stood for fashion. When Nike Dunk SB was reintroduced in 1998, the primary focus was on fashion.

Nike keeps on experimenting with different materials and color patterns to have room for the future of the brand also. For the moment, it is now experimenting with exclusive materials and features such as ostrich leather, horse hair and it also sports a crystal blue color-way. Another method they successfully tried is fusing features of different shoes together, be it the Jedis, the Pigeons, the Denims, the Air Force 1s, but Nike Dunks has retained its exclusivity regardless. I think this is what they call ?ageless beauties?. Take a peek at the famous workout shoes by Nike, what you will find are the same old Nike Dunks which will do, even though they aren't actually intended for working out.
