The Best Nike SB Dunks in 2023
With collaborations featuring the likes of Supreme, Yuto Horigome and more, the Nike SB Dunk has become more than just your regular skateboarding shoes.
If you’re a fan of the Swoosh brand, you’re likely already acquainted with the Nike Skateboarding line, more commonly recognized as Nike SB. Among their diverse array of products, the SB Dunk series stands out as a particularly prominent offering. Unsurprising, perhaps, for even the regular Nike Dunks have also garnered a substantial following in recent years.
In 2023, the rise in the number of SB Dunk models offering has been noticeable, including collaborations with a range of partners spanning diverse fields such as music, art and beyond.
If you haven’t been keeping up with the series of drops, don’t worry, we’ve compiled a list of the year’s top Nike SB Dunk releases for you.
