NIKE SB shoes

From 2002 to Skate Culture Icon.

In 2002, Sandy Bodecker convinced Nike to create a line dedicated to skateboarding. He took the basketball Dunk, added padding, gave it a Zoom Air sole, and handed it over to the best riders in the world. Twenty years later, the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro has become one of the most collected shoes in history.

EMPR is an official Nike SB Orange Label account — the distribution tier reserved for independent skate shops that truly know their stuff. In practical terms, this means we receive the Quickstrikes and exclusive collaborations that you won't find at mass-market retailers or on general marketplaces.

Which pair to choose? The Dunk Low Pro remains the absolute gold standard: perfect lockdown, iconic fat tongue, available in dozens of colorways in collaboration with artists and shops worldwide. The PS8 is the choice for riders looking for an ultra-technical platform with React cushioning. The Air Max Ishod blends 90s basketball aesthetics with a visible Air Max bubble in the heel — ideal for long sessions. The Force 58 and the Blazer Low Pro GT are more accessible options, without compromising on quality.

About sizing: Nike SB runs slightly small, especially padded models like the Dunk Low Pro. Our in-store advice: go half a size up if you have a wide foot or if you wear thick socks. For slimmer models like the Blazer, your usual size will work fine.
