Skateboarding Market Conquered by Nike

To date Nike has excelled in every aspect of the sneaker industry. Not only have they done well but they have managed to become pioneer to every sport there is including golf, football, basketball, jogging and the list goes on and on. They have some of the biggest sports stars in the world promoting their brand and they have even ventured in to extreme sports releasing practical and stylish shoes.

This brings us on to Nike SB which was introduced back in 2002 when such sports as skateboarding where hitting a real high. The Nike SB range is designed and aimed directly at people involved in the skateboarding industry. They have since gathered their very own skate team of professionals who now tour and promote the brand itself. Nike Dunk SB’s are some of the most sought after sneakers and along with their release they launched an extensive advertising campaign to compete other brands in this area.

One of the most sought after sneaker in their arsenal in the Dunk SB. These are very hard to come by as they only release a number of pairs a year to exclusive stores. Magazines like Transworld and Thrasher where used as well to get Nike SB up and running. They have since released a large range of high, mid and low top sneakers all with new exciting designs and styles.

Their team of skaters is made up of some of the best in the sport such as Omar Salazar, Danny Supa, Dan Murphy and more. Omar Salazar and some of the other skaters have had the chance to work with designers to come up their very own skate shoe. This is common in this type of industry and is done by many other brands, like Converse and Supra. Nike SB is just another success story for the major brand itself.

If you are wondering just why the Nike Dunk SB is so popular then here is why. These sneakers are not just about function and how well you have skate with them but they are in a league of their own when it comes to style and design. They have a thick tongue and Zoom Air insole and can be got in a number of different colors so most people will find a pair to suit them.

Nike SB’s are a great shoe whether you skate or just want a cool pair of kicks on your feet. They are growing in popularity much like the Nike Air Hightops did when they came out.
