Where Basketball Heritage Meets Skate Performance
The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro takes one of basketball's most iconic silhouettes and rebuilds it for the demands of skating. Rooted in 80s hoops DNA, the Dunk Low Pro has earned its place as a skate staple by combining classic styling with materials and construction engineered to handle real sessions.
Upper Construction
The upper is built from premium suede and leather panels that soften and develop a natural vintage character with wear. This is not a drawback; it is a deliberate material choice that rewards use. The padded low-cut collar delivers a comfortable, unrestricted fit that lets you move freely whether you are pushing through a session or wearing them off the board.
The sidewall panels on the Dunk Low Pro feature a textured embossed pattern visible on the lateral and medial sides, adding a distinctive surface detail while contributing to structural rigidity. A small woven brand tag on the heel provides a subtle but recognizable mark of the Nike SB line.
Cushioning and Midsole
A foam midsole delivers lightweight, responsive cushioning underfoot. The low-profile stack keeps you close to the board for better feel and control, while still absorbing the repetitive impact of skating. This balance between board feel and impact protection is central to what makes the SB Dunk a functional skate shoe rather than a lifestyle imitation.
Outsole and Traction
The rubber outsole carries over the classic hoops pivot circle from the original basketball Dunk, repurposed here for skate-relevant durability. The outsole pattern provides reliable grip on griptape and holds up to the abrasion demands of repeated skating. Rubber construction throughout the outsole ensures lasting traction across the full life of the shoe.

Nike SB is Nike's dedicated action sports division, uniting the performance innovation of Nike with a deep commitment to the history, creativity, and raw athleticism of skateboarding, snowboarding, and surfing.
