The most popular skateboarding shoe,
Nike Shoes have all the the high quality design features that
Nike Shoes.
Nike Shoes have been available for over 3 years now, and come in over 65 different color variations and styles. No other skateboarding shoe has so much variety. I really enjoyed testing these shoes out - I used the
Nike Shoes Low Pro SBs. They were just thin enough to give great feedback, but also strong enough to not wear.
However, since the start Nike has had the stigma of a big company coming into skateboarding just to make some money. I was apprehensive at first about Nike skate shoes, but I like the way they've gone about it. Instead of making cheap crap skateboarding shoes and trying to undercut the skate shoe market, Nike has taken the high road.
Nike Shox have their own unique style, and while some of their shoes look like a pack of crayons left on a stove burner, some of them look pretty cool. And all of them are well made. Whatever your take on Nike being in the skate market, it is nice that they actually took the time to make skateboarding shoes that work well.
The
Nike Shoes was first introduced by Nike Inc. in 1985. As the Nike Terminator’s "fraternal twin", originally having numerous colors in most sizes for various Universities and Colleges. Since its reintroduction in 1998, the Dunk has transformed from a basic basketball shoe into a subcultural icon and an inspiration for fashion and art.
Nike launched the
Nike Shoes line in March of 2002 at the start of the rise of the Skateboarding trend. For years in California, the skate culture was very popular and skateboarding shoes and clothes were worn more as casual wear than by actual skateboarders.
The
Nike Dunks has a lower profile outer sole than its parent shoes. The intent was a lighter weight and staying closer to the ground. In addition, the paneling was revised to improve basketball game performance during pivoting and blocking. The Dunk was used to spearhead what Nike called the ’College Colors’ program. They signed some average college basketball teams to an exclusive Dunk sponsorship deal; in simple terms, the deal meant that each colored pair of Dunks matched their uniforms.
Nike Dunks Pro SBs are well made, and deceptively simple feeling skateboarding shoes. All are double stitched, action leather and suede. From there, each of the
Nike Dunks has its own style. Like I said, there are over 65 different styles of
Nike Dunks available at this moment - some are high tops, like the Dunk High Pro SB, with the stylish old school solid profile sole. Others have a more sporty look, like the Dunk Low Pro SB with stitched sole and a multi purpose design. Nike even has Baby Dunk SBs that only come in baby sizes
First of all, Nike knew that with the wear and tear of the foot, a good cushioning system was needed. Since skateboarding shoes need to have a low center of gravity, the
Nike Dunks SBs had Zoom Air insoles. Next, the
Nike Dunks SBs had extra padding added to the area around the ankle and to the tongue. The extra padding to the tongue did provide some extra cushioning between the top of the foot and the board, but it was more for cosmetic appearance than anything. Lastly, Nike beefed up the quality of the materials on the Nike Skateboarding Dunks.
There have been many special events celebrated with the
Nike Shox SBs. There were special skateboarding Dunks made for St. Pattys day in 2005. Also, there have been some ultra-rare Lebron
Nike Shox SBs even though Lebron James doesn’t skate. The
Nike Shox SB was also the first shoe that Nike did colaborations with other artists and companies.
Only a few years ago Nike decided to enter the skateboard shoe market. One of their first shoes was the
Nike Shox. Dunks were originally basketball shoes (thus the name "Dunk") back in the 80s, but the shoe worked fairly well for skateboarding too, having a flat sole that allowed for good board feel. Since the Dunk's evolution into a skateboarding shoe, the letters "SB" have been added to signify their link to Skateboarding.
Nike Shox now feature the Zoom Air sole, suede toe caps for better board grip, and nice puffy tongues.
Nike saw the potential to tapping into this market and thus launched the Nike Skateboarding line.Nike launched their skateboarding lines on the back of the
Nike Dunks SB.
Nike Dunks Pro SBs are most definitely skatable. The thin Zoom Air soles give great board feedback while still maintaining cushion. The only problem here is that the uppers are fairly thin - you will wear out your
Nike Dunks pretty quick if you do a lot of flip tricks. But this thin-ness is what allows for better control. It's a trade off. The Nike Skateboarding Dunks were the same shape and fit as the
Nike Dunks, but with several performance changes.
All out havoc broke out in New York when there was the super rare release of the
Nike Shox SB “Pigeons.” In February 2005, a mini riot broke out at a store on New York’s Lower East Side as sneakerheads camped out in freezing temperatures for days to get the new
Nike Shox SB release, the Pigeon Dunk, for $300 a pair. When the store opened, according to the New York Post, 70 people were in line. Twenty got the shoes, the other 50 got attitudes. Police were deployed on scene before hand because many knew what would happen when news got out to the sneakerheads who waited outside in freezing temperatures for several days for nothing.
During the early 1984, Nike was in serious jeopardy on the fast pace sportswear market. Suffering from its white man jogging brand image, Nike had no credit on the basketball world. The running shoe phenomenon that has fueled their sales in previous years was slowly dying and they need a way to revitalize and reinvent themselves in order to appeal to another segment of the market. That is when Nike saw something special in the rookie player Michael Jordan, they saw a chance, an opportunity. Nike signed Jordan to a $2.5 million deal for 5 years, plus royalties and other fringe benefits. The introduction of the Air Jordan I turned the athletic shoe industry upside down. Before the Air Jordan I, most basketball shoes were white, but the bold black and red styling of the Air Jordan I flouted this convention. The NBA banned the shoe form the league in response, but Michael Jordan wore them anyway, racking up serious fines of up to $5000 a game. Nike, of course, was more than happy to pay these to keep the shoes in the game and in the public eye. All this controversy and Jordan’s spectacular numbers that year served to put the Air Jordan line on the road to becoming a household name. It also sold out it's first shoe for almost less than a dollar each.
Air Jordan have consistently been among the best selling basketball shoes since their creation in 1985. The designers take his ideas, hobbies, and life into account and incorporate these feelings into the shoes. In honor of Michael Jordan, the last Air Jordan will be the Jordan XXIII due to the fact that the number 23 was the number he wore during his NBA career.
