Nike’s performance-driven attitude is the backbone of the company’s success and for the SB Dunk in 2011, Nike SB will continue that trend of performance-first construction. The Dunk was in fact a basketball shoe and the crossover to skate bringing along a simple addition of a fattened tongue might not have been the easiest transition but it stuck around longer than any other Nike SB model thanks to the success in the urban fashion market. For 2011, Nike SB will introduce a new and improved construction of the Nike SB Dunk. Starting off with the bottom sole, a modified traction pattern on both the forefoot and heel should provide the added grip that skaters look for in a skate shoe. Also making its way to the SB Dunk in 2011 is the improved heel construction, which features a protruding padding that would lock down the foot in place. All of the aforementioned changes are aimed at improving the performance of the Nike SB Dunk, so look out for these new soles come 2011. via Warped.

Nike sportswear needs to takeover the the old fat tongue SB dunk and leave the new dunk to Nike SB. I don't care about hypebeast this, real skater that and sneakerhead yada yada. Nike just needs to get the high and low model as people liked it and forget about vulcanised soles, yellowed soles or other stupid BS. Get it looking fresh in those old basketball colours and sell them like Air Forces.

F the sole I wanna see the dunk.

Lets hope the quality is nice on these… there is NO PADDING in the Ironman Dunk Highs I recently bought.

thats cause u dont actually use them to skate. sb's are extra comfortable and have a record of coming up with hot creations, but dont let that distract u from the fact that they are made to perform for a sport: skateboarding.

nike sportswear is gonna make them shit quality like the normal non premium dunks and nike did make more padded dunks in from 1999 to 2003-4 not exactly sure but those dunks were padded like the sb's around the heel.

i think the swoosh, toebox, and everything else will look the same though

What happened to the good old SB dunks from the ~2002 era? The toebox on the Chrome Ball highs that I got last summer is so narrow and flat. They look poopy. I keep buying dunks hoping for a return to better quality, and always end up returning them because they just look cheap. Same with the un-lodens I just got in the mail. Weird profile and toebox and cheap material. Waaaahhh! I want my dunks back!

dude, people were basketball sneaks all the time and dont play in them. id wager that most of sb sales come from non skaters
November 11th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Yo. Stfu. I know what theyre meant for. I dont skate anymore, therefore I dont really care for the sole. Sb's are the comfiest shoes I own which is why I buy them in the first place. Thanks.

You know I gotta say…this is good. But at the same time it bothers me how Nike makes their SB stuff so good.
I can go skate/walk/run in a pair of GR Nike SB's and they will have NO to LITTLE creasing.
If I did that in any Jordan Retro or Nike Sportswear, they'd crease and give me blisters…yet we pay a hefty premium for most Jordan/Nike sportswear retros only to get subpar quality.
Go to the store one of these days and pick up a Air Jordan Fusion and compare it to any recent retro. You can see and feel the quality difference (The Fusions have better quality I find)

the new sole is garbage. they should have kept the original tread but i like the phylon mid sole… and get rid of the dunk sb pro on the tongue…
