Nike Skateboarding Innovation Timeline

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.
