Nike Dunk Low SB ‘J-Pack Chicago’

The latest Nike SB Dunk J-Pack Chicago keeps Jordan Brand’s relationship with skateboarding strong. For those that don’t know, before the plethora of options for proper skateboarding footwear, skaters in the 80s and 90s preferred boarding in Air Jordan 1s. The sneaker’s high top construction provided the proper amount of ankle support needed to bare various skateboarding tricks. The recent addition to the Nike SB Dunk J-Pack pays homage to Air Jordan 1’s involvement with early skate culture. This Nike SB Dunk Low J-Pack Chicago has something that both Jordan and SB heads will enjoy. The classic SB Dunk Low silhouette is dressed in a Chicago Jordan 1 red, white, and black leather colorway. From there, a fat tongue and oval laces introduce the skateboarding aspect of the sneaker.

Created for the hardwood but taken to the streets, this ’80s b-ball icon returns with classic details and throwback hoops flair. Supple suede overlays help the Nike Dunk channel vintage style while its padded, low-cut collar lets you take your game anywhere—in comfort. Subtle hints of colour nod to the 40th anniversary of the Pegasus, so you can celebrate sneaker legacy with each step.

Benefits

• The real and synthetic leather upper ages to soft perfection and features durable construction reminiscent of ’80s b-ball.
• Foam midsole offers lightweight, responsive cushioning.
• Low-cut, padded collar looks sleek and feels great.

Nike Dunk

Born from a series of mash-ups, hacks and tight deadlines, the Nike Dunk landed on US college basketball courts during the ’85–’86 season. While the original ‘College Colours’ designs helped fans stay true to their school, the Dunk didn’t prove to be popular. But it was this humble sneaker’s lack of popularity—and flat, grippy soles—that helped it jump the rails to captivate skateboarders. Decades later, this everyday favourite continues to be snatched up in countless colourways, proving its influence is undeniable.
