Modegeschiedenis
Nike launched its SB line in 2002 after previous unsuccessful attempts to enter the skateboarding market. The brand gained traction by collaborating with professional skaters and independent skate shops. It introduced the Dunk Low Pro SB, which transitioned from a basketball shoe to a cultural icon. This shift influenced the rise of sneaker collecting and limited-edition releases. Nike SB remains a significant bridge between performance sportswear and global streetwear fashion history.
