Let’s put aside the fact that the Nike Dunk has had so much influence on basketball shoes that it continues to this day, but the influence we’re talking about here is even bigger than that. Some 15 years after its first release, in the early 2000s, we saw the Nike Dunk take on its SB form and give the modern version of the sneaker its key reference point. From the wild colors and textures, SB Dunks made people stand in long lines (even camp out) in front of the stores. Bookings, pulling ties, camping out in front of malls is something that speaks volumes for how important these sneakers are to many fans. This line, in its countless variants, is a real lure for collectors who are ready to shell out serious numbers to get their hands on the most popular models. Collaborations such as those with the brand Off-White or rapper Travis Scott are listed best, but Nike also launches its colors within the SB division that are not related to well-known names. DSCENE team prepared a list of the best releases to come this December. Read on to explore our picks:
