Nike Dunk SB-Nike Men’s Shoes

Nike Dunk SB

In 2002 Nike took their brand in another line, and that would be Skateboarding. Other skaters disliked this idea because they did not want a corporate company to take over their sport. So what would make the line sell?

The Nike SB line rode on the back of the Nike Dunk SB. At first the line had plain colors, like the Lodens, Gino 1, Paul Brown Highs, and wheat lows, but with a zoom air insole, stuff tongue and extra padding, that alone sold well.

The Nike Dunk SB Low suggested retail price is $65.00 and Nike Dunk SB Highs is $75.00, but with all the hype of the shoe, plus stores “wanting” more money, prices have been upped to anywere from $125.00 to $250.00 and sometimes more.

Some what collectors call “Holy Grails” are Nike Dunk SB Heineken, Supreme Low and High, Calis, Supas, Chocolate, Zoo Yorks and Paris. Resell value on these would be $350 and as high as $5,000.

Only certain stores with a Nike SB account can get Nike Dunk SBs or any Nike SB. Rules were you had to be an established Skateboarding store for 2 years before Nike SB would consider making a contract with you. Plus something around $50,000 to sell Nike SBs in your store.

The rarest Nike Dunk SB would have to be the Ebay Dunk. Inspired by the Ebay logo, Nike made a sample pair to take pictures of, and threw them on ebay to see how they would sell. The pair went for over $30,000 and was made for the individual (who was kept anonymous) in his/her size. The original pair was cut up in 4 pieces and is on display.

People will do anything to get their hands on a rare pair of Dunk SBs. For example around 200 pairs of the Nike Dunk SB Pigeons released in New York only on February 2005 close to 100 people camped out for this pair, and on release day about 20 pairs were sold. Riots broke out, and the police had to come in full force. They went for $200-$300, but now they go for a easy $1200.

Nike Zoom Air Angus-men’s shoes Reviews

The Bottom Line
Nike skate shoes hit the market a few years ago, and caused a lot of ruckus - partly because people didn't like the way they looked, or that Nike is such a huge company. But another large part of the buzz had to do with the quality of Nike shoes, and what they could bring to skateboarding. The Nike Zoom Air Angus is the latest installment in the Nike skate shoe story, and they are well worth your attention. High quality, comfortable, and stylish - these shoes are some of the best out there.

Guide Review - Shoes - Nike Zoom Air Angus

When Nike first entered the skate shoe market, they were bashed for being weird and ugly. The Zoom Air Angus is a great leap forward on the cool-meter, but also a great high tech shoe with plenty of meat. In fact, some people are even calling it the new Dunk.Technologically, the Angus is a great shoe. It incorporates breathable panels in the sides and tongue, has a thick action leather upper, is double and triple stitched, and is just plain tough. The sole is great for skating, being made from two rubber types with a good tread with flex points built in. There's nothing else built into it though to help you out skating. no special rubber toe cap, no kick flip panels, none of that. Instead, the shoe seems to be going for style, trusting in the thick leather upper to take the abuse of technical street tricks.

And these shoes do a good job with style. At present, there are 6 different color patterns, and they all look good. There's more subdued color schemes, and bright loud ones if that's what you prefer. The Nike swish is prominent on the side, and at a glance you might mistake these for regular running shoes.

Finally, lets talk about comfort. These shoes are very comfortable, with the Nike Zoom Air heel cushion that is about the best heel cushion I've felt in a shoe. The soles are cushy, but not too thick so you can still feel the board rather well.

These are good shoes - some of he best out there. I highly recommend them.
