Adam Goldstein (DJ AM) was a ‘sneakerhead’ long before the term became mainstream. He started collecting sneakers in 1990 and amassed close to 900 pairs before his passing in 2009. His sister auctioned off each pair, one at a time. He was known for both his DJ skills and premier sneaker collection
This sneaker is 1 of 4 colorways from the ‘Colors By’ collection. These styles were the very first Dunk SBs to ever be released and launched the SB line.
Nike tapped Pro skater Danny ‘Supa’ Supasirirat to design. To represent his hometown of New York City, the colorway is an homage to the New York Mets.
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.
