Additionally, an extra set of laces is included for those who want to customize their style.

Nike SB Dunk Low ”Bic”
Released in 2006 during the Black Box Era, this sneaker pair is inspired by the iconic Black & Yellow “Bic” logo. Bic, or Société Bic S.A., is a French company founded in 1945 by Marcel Bich, known for disposable razors, lighters, and stationery. Their most famous product, the “Bic Cristal” ballpoint pen, launched in 1950, has sold over 100 billion units and is exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Center Pompidou in Paris.
The “Bic Boy” logo, created by Raymond Savignac in 1961, features a schoolboy with a ball-shaped head, symbolizing the tungsten carbide ball used in Bic pens. The “Bic” SB Dunk Low features White & Yellow leather with Black suede, reflecting the original logo colors, though the yellow shade differs slightly. An ultra-rare high version exists in the “EMB Brazil Custom Series.” What do you think of this pair? Is it the best Yellow SB Dunk ever?
Nike SB Dunk High ”Baroque Brown Vegan”
Released in 2021 during the Purple Box Era, this pair of SB Dunks was notable for being the first and last made with vegan leather. Dressed in Baroque Brown vegan leather, a white midsole, and a Pine Green outsole with matching laces, it embodies the essence of a vegan SB. Vegan leather, made from agricultural waste and sustainable materials, is a cruelty-free alternative to animal leather.
Originally set for a worldwide release in January 2021, it was only available in Mexico, parts of Europe, and a few other countries, with the U.S. drop canceled, contributing to its obscurity. While Nike has released several vegan shoes, this SB Dunk may not appeal to skaters who prefer traditional materials. The colorway is decent, and the quality appears better than that of the "Pawnshop" SB Dunk Highs, but personally, I believe nothing can replace the feel of suede and leather on an SB. For vegans seeking SBs, this release seems like a way for Nike to cater to that market with plant-inspired colors. Overall, I'm not a fan.
eS Koston 2 Black/ Sea
The eS Footwear Koston 2 is a popular skate shoe designed by professional skateboarder Eric Koston. Known for its stylish design and performance features including durable uppers, EVA midsole, rubber outsoles, and minimalist aesthetics. This ultra rare skate shoes was released in the 90s and it’s still in immaculate condition with the original box. Made in Korea, size US10.5. The pair is up for bidding. Bid Now.
Nike SB Dunk High ”Strawberry Cough”
The "Strawberry Cough" SB Dunk High, released in 2021 and designed by Todd Bratrud, draws inspiration from a cannabis strain of the same name. Featuring red textured leather and green suede, the design resembles strawberries and marijuana buds. The sneaker showcases a "Strawberry Character" on the lateral heels and insoles, set atop translucent outsoles.
Created by cannabis grower Kyle Kushman in the early 2000s, "Strawberry Cough" has become a sought-after strain, but the SB Dunk High didn't meet expectations compared to previous releases like "Skunk" and "Reverse Skunk." Despite initial hype, resale values have dropped significantly, with pairs selling for as low as $180. The shoe may be underrated, as its connection to marijuana isn't as strong for casual fans. The collaboration includes special packaging and merchandise, yet its market value continues to decline.
Nike SB Dunk Low ”Band-Aid”
Released in 2005 during the Pink Box Era, the Nike SB Dunk Low “Band-Aid” is inspired by adhesive bandages, notably the popular “Band-Aid” brand by Johnson & Johnson. The shoe features Light Grey suede, a Dark Grey swoosh and midsole, and a Black outsole and collar, with a striking Red accent on the heel tab, tongue tag, and laces, reminiscent of the discontinued Red string used to open Band-Aids. It also includes perforated side panels, earning it the nickname “Gino 3’s” for its resemblance to Gino Iannucci’s style.
Nike SB Dunk Low ”Walk Of Fame”
In 2013, Nike SB collaborated with LA skate shop Brooklyn Projects to create a limited edition sneaker inspired by the Hollywood “Walk of Fame.” The shoes featured pebbled black leather, red accents, and a gold swoosh, representing the stars on the sidewalk.
Due to legal issues, the original public release was canceled, and only 500 pairs were sold exclusively in-store for $169, with wristbands required for purchase. The release included special T-shirts for the first 150 customers. Although intended for a February launch to coincide with the Academy Awards, the release was delayed by several months. Ultimately, a limited QS version with only 600 pairs was made available, featuring different branding details.
Nike SB Dunk Low ”Disposable”
Released in 2014 during the Teal Box Era, the “Disposable” SB Dunk Low is a collaboration between Nike SB and skateboard artist Sean Cliver, inspired by his book “Disposable: A History Of Skateboard Art.” Cliver, known for his work as a writer, photographer, and owner of Strangelove Skateboards, has collaborated with Nike SB on various projects, including the “Strangelove” and “Holiday Special” SB Dunk Lows.
“Disposable” showcases over 1,000 influential skateboard graphics from the 80s to the early 2000s, featuring decks from legends like Tony Hawk and Steve Caballero. To celebrate the book's 10th anniversary, the “Disposable” SB Dunk Lows were released, featuring a colorway that mirrors the book's cover with faded black, pink, white, and rustic grey on vintage gum bottoms, and special branding on the heel and insoles.
Nike SB Dunk High ”Chairman Bao”
Released in 2014 during the Teal Box Era, the Nike SB Dunk High “Chairman Bao” is a collaboration with NYC's Baohaus, a Taiwanese restaurant founded by Chef Eddie Huang, which closed in 2020.
Huang, known for his memoir and the ABC sitcom “Fresh Off The Boat,” drew inspiration from Baohaus for this sneaker. The hi-top skate shoe features grungy grey suede uppers, reflecting the texture of traditional baozi, and icy blue soles inspired by the restaurant's neon sign. The insoles showcase a graphic of the signature “Chairman Bao” dish.
