Triple Dunk; Kick Flip Competition

It’s time for another SB Dunk Kickflip Challenge; except this time - we have three different shoes up for grabs! Think you can land one under pressure? Read on to find out how to enter.

ABOUT THE SHOES

Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Pink Pig’

“Before its sole ever touched a skate deck, the Dunk made its mark on the hardwood as a basketball shoe—but the style was eventually adopted by skateboarders for its durability and responsive board feel. In 2002, the silhouette was re-engineered to meet the needs of this new audience, including a Zoom Air unit in the heel and a padded tongue for maximum comfort. This edition features a monochromatic makeup in the vibrant hue of Atomic Pink, with soft pig suede creating tender texture across the shoe's upper.”

Nike SB Dunk Low 'VX1000’

“The VX1000 Dunk has been inspired by the original VX1000 Camcorder; which despite being 'out of date,' skaters have remained loyal to ever since Sony brought it to shelves in 1995. 

Loved for being dependable, durable, and utilising the iconic fish-eye lens, the VX1000 camcorder is uniquely depicted in this shoe - even featuring various specs of the original camera: including the red and yellow eyelets (the colour of traditional pause/stop buttons), a green heel, and recording device terminology showcased across the entire shoe, even the inner sole.”

Nike SB Dunk Low Pro ‘Blue Chill’

“After spending multiple decades as a basketball and streetwear icon, the Dunk continues to strengthen its reign as a skateboarding staple. The shoe's famous lines remain unchanged since their inception in '85, but this modified skate version of the silhouette uses distinct hues and graphics to pay homage to retro racing cars. Premium materials and a Zoom Air unit in the heel add modern comfort to this low-riding classic.”

These shoes are part of an exclusive competition and can only be purchased via our kickflip challenge. See below for everything you need to know.
