First Brand to present: Nike SB

We want to present our favourite type of shoe: The Skateboarding Shoe.

In the past only skaters wear them, but nowadays a lot of people love them!
Not only the skate community, the most part of people around extreme sports like BMX, Motocross, Surf, Wakeboard, Snowboard and more are riding this kind of shoe.

There are many cool brands, we are going to start with one we love!

Nike Skateboarding, also known as Nike SB, is the Nike brand for its line of shoes, clothing, and equipment for skateboarding.

In 1997, Nike commenced production of its own line of skate shoes, but was unable to sell to many specialist skate shops, as the market was already strongly in favour of companies such as DC, Glob e, DVS, and Vans; Nike was not considered a core skateboarding brand among the skateboarding community and, therefore, did not receive the necessary level of support.

For this reason, they created Nike SB

In 2002, Nike introduced the "SB" brand. The Nike SB Dunk Low model was released, and consisted of padded tongues and collars and the "Zoom Air" insoles; the shoe was more similar to other skate shoe styles than the corporation's previous attempts. After the SB Dunk's mediocre sales, Nike released four other models: The Nike SB Angus, Nike SB FC, Nike SB Delta Force, and Nike SB URL.

Lets check out their most important models!
