Third time’s a charm – just ask Nike SB. It took three attempts for Nike to become the Skateboarding powerhouse today, and after signing its first skateboarding athletes a decade ago, Nike SB was created, indirectly watering the rich sneaker sub-culture soil with its uber-collectible Nike SB Dunks. Typically minimalistic in design, skate shoes are rather tough to perfect, as a number of performance and comfort criteria must be met; cushioning, board feel, durability, and breathability, while cohesively bonding the ideas of tradition and progression are put in every Nike SB shoes, seen in the re-tooled SB Dunk, the Zoom FP, Zoom Koston One, Zoom Tre, and so on. Check out this timeline of Nike Skateboarding Innovation after the jump and let us know what your favorite Nike SB pro model is!
