Nike

In 2006, Nike tapped into the memories of consumers by releasing a Nike SB Dunk with a color palette inspired by fictional Mayor H.R. Pufnstuf. Running from the late '60s to early '70s, H.R. Pufnstuf was a children's television show featuring bold colors, exaggerated characters and fantastical sets — cementing a cult status within its genre. 

Nike SB, acting on this strong sense of nostalgia, modeled this 2006 Nike SB Dunk off the same colors as the dragon mayor H.R. Pufnstuf. The suede sneaker shows blocks of color which are nods to the main character — the red heel resembling his hair, yellow panels representing his skin and green as his clothes. Lastly, the vivid blue Swoosh draws inspiration from the mayoral ribbon sported across H.R. Pufnstuf’s chest. 

The Nike Dunk, designed in the 1980s and intended for basketball, was eventually repurposed for skateboarding. The popular model would be reworked in the early 2000s with upgrades for the skateboarding community, leading to the formal debut of the Nike SB brand. The man behind it, former Nike executive Sandy Bodecker, is credited with building one of Nike’s most beloved subdivisions with the Nike SB line.
