Nike Dunk Shoes
In March of 2002 Nike took their brand in another line,and that would be Skateboarding.Nike saw the potential of tapping into the skateboard clothing market because skateboard clothing and sneakers were worn more as casual wear than for the actual sport. The Dunk SB were the same shapes as the Original Nike Dunk but featured a few alterations. Due to physical strain on the foot, good cushioning was a necessity. Also, skateboarding shoes need to have a low center of gravity, so Nike decided to add Zoom Air insoles. Next, thicker padding was added to the areas around the ankle and the tongue. Last but not lease, there was no shortage of material used on the SB Dunks. Double and triple stitching is the norm in the skateboarding shoe industry, so Nike had to step up its design from the original Nike Dunks.
