Nike SB's Club 58
NOTE are included in Nike SB's Club 58 programme which means that we are in the very top tier of European Nike SB stockists, allowing us rare access to limited edition,Β Quickstrike and Orange Label products including rare Dunk releases. Nike SB have consistently produced some of the most diverse skate shoes since their inception in 2002, and recent years have seen the popularity of Nike SB Dunks absolutely skyrocket, which in turn has had a knock-on effect on the brand and cemented Nike SB one of the most popular clothing and apparel brands alongside its collection of trainers, which appeal to both skaters and sneakerheads alike.
Nike SB Collaborations
The unbelievable hype that has surrounded Nike SB Dunks over the last few years was helped massively by some of the collaborations that occurred in 2020 between Nike SB and other brands. Notable releases during this period saw the Nike SB Travis Scott Dunk Low Premium spearhead the attack, with people losing their minds over that release followed closely behind byΒ the 'Chunky Dunky Dunk Lows', an unusual collaboration between Nike SB and Ben & Jerry's, with select pairs featuring a special ice cream tub box.
AlongsideΒ these unusual and unexpected collaborations were further collabs with core skate brands and shops keeping die hard sneakerheads and skaters alike happy, including the StrangeLove Dunk Lows, featuring artwork by Sean Cliver, a collab with Berlin-based skate shop Civilist for some unusual Dunk Lows that featured a colour changing technology when the shoes heated up. Older popular Dunk releases that NOTE have stocked included the Diamond Tiffany Dunks, Jeff Staple Pigeon Dunks, and collaborations with Boston-based streetwear store Concepts with the various Lobster Dunks that have released over the years.
The Latest Nike SB
Nike SB's recent foray in to basketball has seen the brand reach new heights and also new audiences. The collaboration with the NBA and the release of the Air Jordan 4 mirrors the brands ethos to bring the best technology and practice into skateboarding this has included the use of air max technology and Lunarlon among others.
