Nike SB has revolutionized sneaker culture with limited, concept-driven releases, making it a cornerstone of modern sneaker collecting.
Nike SB was first established in 2002 under the visionary leadership of the late Sandy Bodecker. Nike’s first attempt to penetrate the skateboarding market in the 1990s failed.
