Released in 2008 during the Gold Box Era, the Nike SB Dunk Low “720 Degrees” is inspired by the Atari arcade game of the same name, which refers to two full spins on a skateboard. The game was launched in 1986, the same year the designer was born.
That year, Nike SB released only one official collaboration, the “Red Lobsters” with CNCPTS, but many unofficial collaborations drew inspiration from rock bands, video games, and movies. Notable releases included “Gibson Guitar,” “Fender Bass,” “Skate Or Die,” and various movie-themed designs like “Ferris Bueller” and “Boba Fett.”
The Gold Box Era is considered the "Inspired By" era, featuring vibrant, retro designs that may have seemed tacky at the time but now fit modern street fashion. The “720 Degrees” features charcoal leather uppers, black nubuck panels, a bright pink swoosh, and colorful accents, embodying the era's unique style.
Designed by Shawn Baravetto, who contributed to many iconic pairs from this period, the “720 Degrees” remains a nostalgic favorite for those who remember purchasing them at retail.
