Nike

Considered one of the most sought-after pairs from its era, the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Reese Forbes ‘Denim’ was Reese Forbes’ second ever Nike SB created. It was designed in partnership with skateboarder Natas Kaupas and features two shades of Indigo denim with frayed detailing throughout. The design sits atop a contrasting red outsole, which is meant to channel the Americana aesthetic. As one of the most iconic pairs of the SB Dunk collection, it has served as inspiration not only for the SB Dunk High of 2017, but also for countless other pairs which introduced frayed denims on their uppers.

The Nike SB Dunk made its formal debut in 2002, when Nike officially reworked 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. From designs that range from beer bottles, to guitar cases, to horror films, jewelry, animals, arts and cities – the Dunks represent some of the most beloved and creative models for the brand.
