How to Customize SB Dunks

The original Nike Dunk was released in 1985. The basketball shoe comes in various colors and can be customized on the NIKEiD website. The Nike Dunk can be found on basketball courts, on the streets as well as in skateboarding parks. Skateboarders adopted the shoe because of the low profile sole of the Dunk. The shoe also provides good stability and ankle support for skaters. Nike created the SB Dunk years after the original Dunk. The "SB" represents "skateboarding" and is essentially the same as the Dunk.
