Nike presents the exclusive collection of the stylish looking shoes that cater to the sporty and comfort needs of the gamer population.

Nike Dunks was introduced in the market as an ideal product for basketball. As immensely popular, this brand soon captured the attention of shoe collectors and sneakers lovers. As this product gained market interest, all new variations were released in the outlets in order to promote it for the energizing events. A big evolution in the popularity of this brand came after associating it with the world famous athlete and basketball icon Michael Jordan in late 1980s. The earlier versions of Nike dunks were made up of canvas along with solid profile rubber sole. Gradually the fashion trends for basketball transformed into all new leather forms and this was when the fall of Nike dunks initiated.

The market seemed to have shifted more towards meeting the skate boarding needs of the generation rather than basketball. Keeping the state of demand in view, a new brand of Nike shoes was designed specially for skate boarding when this product was re-launched in 1998. Based on the purpose of release, this brand was named Nike dunks SB. However, both the sports have a lot in common. That's the reason collating both the brands at the same time weren't much of a trouble as it was already a popular name for basketball in the market. There were some significant changes made for Nike dunks in order to fit the skate boarding culture.

Skate boarding as well as basketball requires a lot of durability and strength as both of the games include quick moves and a lot of strain. So the feet and toes undergo constant strain and tussle. Hence the Nike dunks SB was double stitched with action leather and low outlined sole. This helps the gamers get a grip on the board and bounce. The added features in the SB shoes include the zoom air sole, puffy tongue and seudo toe caps in order to make it further comfortable and classy. Nike dunks are an ideal collections material for a skate boarding or basketball lover.
