Nike Dunk Low Kickshawaii ‘Aloha’ | Size 11

In 2004, Nike teamed up with KICKS Hawaii to redesign the classic Dunk Low silhouette. Inspired by the geography and culture of Hawaii, the design features woven Lauhala bamboo mid panels contrasted by green and brown nubuck overlays. ‘ALOHA’ branding is visible on the tongue and ‘HAWAII’ stamped on each back heel tab.

The Nike SB Dunk made its formal debut in 2002 when Nike officially reappropriated the famed Dunk basketball sneaker originally designed in the 1980s with upgrades suited for the skateboarding community. The man behind it, former Nike executive Sandy Bodecker, is credited with building one of Nike’s most beloved subdivisions in the early 2000s with the Nike SB line.

What sets Nike SB apart from other competitive brands is the unbridled creativity, collaborators, materials, and whimsical highly thematic designs that define a generation of sneakerheads. Nike has explored hundreds of concepts – often with a sense of humor – through its Nike Dunks. Taking inspiration everywhere from beer bottles and horror films to jewelry and significant cities, Dunks represent some of the most beloved and creative models for the brand.
