Nike Dunk SB Cali

Information

A limited edition shoe only released to select Nike SB accounts. Based on the California flag's colors, this dunk is very sought after is rumored to have had only 444 produced (actual production numbers in the low thousands).

Photos of this California Dunk Low SB were first spotted online at Freshnessmag in their exclusive coverage of Nike's White Dunk Tokyo event.

Like the Paris, Tokyo, London and NYC SB's, this pair symbolizes a geographical location. However, instead of highlighting a particular city, Nike Skateboarding created these SB's as a tribute to the State of California.

After all, it was in Southern California's urban slums of Venice and Santa Monica (known together as "Dogtown"), where modern skate culture was born. In the early 1970s Jay Adams, Tony Alva, Stacy Peralta, Jim Muir, Shogo Kubo and the rest of the Zephyr skate team (the Z-Boys ) took skating from its roots as an extension of surfing and added a previously unseen mix of style, skill and attitude that revolutionized the dying sport and created a world wide cultural phenomenon. A tribute to the State is only right... just ask yourselves what SB's would be without California. Would they even exist?
