Oct 15, 2018 Is Nike SB making a comeback?
Nike SB X Takashi Dunk Low retro?
Nike has a storied history for sneakerheads but the “Nike SB” era holds a special place for a lot of us. Before social media and smartphones, the way you found out about the latest SB drop was through sneaker message boards such as Niketalk and bugging your local NIke SB shop when they’ll get their shipment in. It was a simpler time. Fast forward to today, it seems like sneaker brands are always releasing collaborations and anyone with an internet connection can cop the latest drop.

Younger sneakerheads missed out on a very influential and important era in sneaker culture and it seems like Nike is trying to bring back that luster. With teaser photos of another Diamond Supply Dunk all over social media and the immediate sellout of the Humidity X Nike Dunk Hi, this is the most momentum Nike SB has seen in a while. Not to mention the official photos of the “Takashi” SB Dunk Low.

A lot of sneaker enthusiasts will say that when Nike decides to retro a model, they turn it up to 11 and over do it; it’s one of the reasons why Nike SB fell into irrelevancy in the first place. On the other hand, style gods A$AP Rocky and Travis Scott have been seen wearing “grail” Nike SB sneakers as of late and with their influence can help steer Nike SB back into sneaker royalty once again.
