Nike SB Dunks From the Striped Box Era

Nike SB kicked off in 2002 and somehow created overnight campouts, sneaker collabs, and those resellers who breathe through price tags. The Nike SB Striped Box Dunks era popped up in 2020, flipping hype back on like someone hit a giant Swoosh switch. You chased Dunk Lows on SNKRS that vanished mid-tap. Some pairs didnโ€™t even load. We need 2026 to fix that mess. So, Nike, drop them again and let people actually buy the shoes they love.

In February 2020, Travis Scott sent sneakerheads into a frenzy with his SB Dunk Low collab. The bandana and tartan mix wasnโ€™t just hypeโ€”it helped kick off the tear-away trend. Nearly five years later, resale prices are still wild, proving Travis doesnโ€™t drop sneakers, he drops events.

The StrangeLove x Nike SB Dunk Low hit shelves in February 2020 and instantly stole hearts. Designed by skate legend Sean Cliver, the pair swapped grip tape for crushed velvet, dripping in pink and red so smooth youโ€™d swear Cupid worked at Nike. Love hurts, but these hurt good.

Nike SB Dunk High โ€˜Reverse Skunkโ€™ (April 2020)

Todd Bratrud lit up 2020 with the โ€˜Reverse Skunk,โ€™ a hazy rework of his 2010 classic. Dropping on 4/20, it flipped the greens and purples into fuzzy suede perfection. The insoles even featured the original โ€˜Skunkโ€™ rocking a long white beardโ€”proof that some legends only get higher with age.

In May 2020, Nike SB and Ben & Jerryโ€™s served up the โ€˜Chunky Dunky,โ€™ a sneaker so good it gave everyone a sugar rush. With cow-print panels, melting Swooshes, and ice-cream-inspired chaos, one fan even ate from the sole. Gross? Maybe. But it proved these Dunks were dangerously sweet.

Grateful Dead x Nike SB Dunk Low (July 2020)

In July 2020, Nike SB dropped the Grateful Dead Dunks, and suddenly every skater looked like theyโ€™d raided a tie-dye concert. Marking the 50th anniversary of American Beauty, the furry orange, green, and yellow pairs came with dancing bears and a hidden stash pocket. As they say, Deadheads never die.

Atlas x Nike SB Dunk High โ€˜Lost at Seaโ€™ (September 2020)

September 2020 saw San Franciscoโ€™s Atlas dive deep with the Nike SB Dunk High โ€œLost at Sea.โ€ Inspired by 1990โ€™s โ€œGreat Spill,โ€ when 61,000 Nike pairs fell overboard, the shoe featured aged glue, cream laces, and ocean-worn hues. A sneaker shipwreck never looked this good washed ashore.

Concepts x Nike SB Dunk High โ€˜Mallardโ€™ (November 2020)

Concepts cooked up something wild in November 2020 with the Nike SB Dunk High โ€œMallard,โ€ affectionately dubbed the โ€œTurdunken.โ€ Inspired by John Maddenโ€™s infamous three-bird feast, it came stuffed with laser-cut feather panels, plush textures, and chicken-print socks. Forget the turkeyโ€”this was the real Thanksgiving showstopper.

Sean Cliver x Nike SB Dunk Low โ€˜Holiday Specialโ€™ (December 2020)

December 2020 brought Sean Cliverโ€™s โ€œHoliday Special,โ€ a Dunk that made adults believe in Santa again. Wrapped in icy blue suede with snowflake toes and mischievous elves on the insoles, it nailed that festive chaos perfectly. Naughty or nice, this was the only gift that actually mattered that year.

January 2021 brought the Nike SB Dunk Low โ€œStreet Hawker,โ€ a flavour explosion straight from Chinaโ€™s food stalls. Artist Jason Deng hand-painted six dishes from six cities onto one sneaker, blending dumpling shades and noodle tones. It wasnโ€™t just wearable artโ€”it was a menu for your feet.

Nike SB Dunk Low โ€˜VX1000โ€™ (February 2021)

February 2021โ€™s Nike SB Dunk Low โ€œVX1000โ€ paid tribute to the unsung hero of skate cultureโ€”the Sony camcorder that documented every slam and trick since 1995. Decked out in grey and black tech tones, it was a nostalgic nod to an era when every skater dreamed of filming greatness.

In March 2021, Baltimoreโ€™s Ayman and Osama Abdeldayem of Carpet Company turned their screen-printing roots into sneaker gold. Their SB Dunk High hid tear-away layers revealing splattered gold panels beneath, plus cheeky fez-headed characters inside. Fusing their Egyptian-American heritage with Nike SBโ€™s DIY spirit, this collab was pure creative craftsmanship.

Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low (March 2021)

March 2021 saw Supreme return to the SB Dunk throne with a four-pack of colourways that reminded everyone who runs the block. Reviving their 2003 faux-croc design with gold stars and premium leather, the drop proved Supremeโ€™s still the king of skate luxuryโ€”no box logo required.

May 2021 gave us the Frankenstein of sneakers: the Nike SB Dunk Low โ€œWhat The Paul.โ€ Celebrating Paul Rodriguezโ€™s legacy, it mashed up ten of his iconic designs with elephant print, Mexican textiles, and nods to 2007โ€™s โ€œWhat The Dunk.โ€ Pure chaos, perfectly stitched together for sneaker history.

Stingwater x Nike SB Dunk Low โ€˜Magic Mushroomโ€™ (May 2021)

In May 2021, Daniel Kim and his label Stingwater took Nike SB on a trip with the โ€˜Magic Mushroomโ€™ Dunk. โ€œItโ€™s a story about โ€˜groeing,โ€™โ€ Kim said. With spotted overlays, translucent soles reading โ€œPlant emoji with eyes,โ€ and a hidden stash pocket, this pair was pure sneaker psychedelia.

June 2021 saw pro skater Ishod Wair and car collector Magnus Walker merge horsepower with kickflips. Their Nike SB Dunk High oozed racing DNA, from vintage car graphics to worn leather finishes. Equal parts garage and grind, this collab proved that when style meets speed, everyone eats dust.

June 2021โ€™s Nike SB Dunk High โ€œKebab and Destroyโ€ from Athensโ€™ Color Skates proved food and skating are the perfect combo. Founder Vassilis Aramvoglou seasoned the design with elephant print leather, warm pita tones, and spicy Color branding. Late-night skate, late-night kebab.

In July 2021, Dutch artist Piet Parra splashed his signature shapes and bold colours across the Nike SB Dunk Low โ€œAbstract Art.โ€ Created for the Tokyo Summer Olympics, where Parra also designed the skate team kits, this pair turned every step into a wearable piece of art โ€” no gallery required.

September 2021 brought two mechanical masterpieces: the Gundam x Nike SB Dunk High โ€œBansheeโ€ and โ€œUnicorn.โ€ Inspired by the legendary mecha anime, each pair looked battle-ready with panelled armour details and detachable Swooshes. Whether youโ€™re a skater or a space pilot, these Dunks proved style and sci-fi can peacefully coexist.

Nike SB Dunk High โ€˜Strawberry Coughโ€™ (October 2021)

Todd Bratrud, the man who made skate decks weird and wonderful, lit up October 2021 with the Nike SB Dunk High โ€œStrawberry Cough.โ€ A cheeky nod to 4/20, this fruity follow-up to his โ€œBubonic Skunk Dunkโ€ even hid a stash pocket in the tongue. Subtle? Not exactly. Legendary? Absolutely.

Nike SB Dunk Low โ€˜Mummyโ€™ (October 2021)

October 2021 saw Nike SB unwrap one of its best Halloween releases yetโ€”the Dunk Low โ€œMummy.โ€ Draped in tear-away โ€œCoconut Milkโ€ suede with glowing details straight out of a tomb, it was creepy, clever, and collectible. Inspired by 2019โ€™s โ€œNight of Mischief,โ€ this Dunk was frightfully good fun.

Dunk High โ€˜Workbootโ€™ (March 2022)

In March 2022, Australiaโ€™s Pass~Port gave Nike SB a rugged makeover with the Dunk High โ€œWorkboot.โ€ Built in earthy greens and browns with gold accents, this collab felt ready for both trails and kickflips. Trent Evansโ€™ crew didnโ€™t just hike the pathโ€”they paved it for Aussie skate culture.

Nike SB Dunk High โ€˜Oskiโ€™ (March 2022)

March 2022 saw Swedish skater Oskar โ€œOskiโ€ Rozenberg swap the Swoosh for a shark on his Nike SB Dunk High. Sleek white leather, toothy detail, pure menace. A kidsโ€™ Dunk Low circled too, proving everyone could take a bite. Stylish, bold, and a little dangerousโ€”just how Oski likes it.

Nike SB Dunk Low โ€˜Polaroidโ€™ (April 2022)

April 2022 saw Nike SB snap back to nostalgia with the Dunk Low โ€œPolaroid.โ€ Inspired by the 1937 instant camera, it featured overlapping tri-coloured Swooshes, reflective panels, and custom embroidery. The best part? Seven lace sets in gradient hues, letting you switch filters without touching your phone.

KCDC x Nike SB Dunk High (April 2022)

Brooklynโ€™s KCDC has been backing womenโ€™s skating since 2001, so when Nike SB handed them a Dunk High in April 2022, they didnโ€™t miss. Pink and black suede, brass eyelets, and clear gum soles gave it that perfect worn-in feel. Two decades later, itโ€™s still skating circles around the rest.

In June 2020, Nike SB teamed up with Dubaiโ€™s Frame for the Dunk Low โ€œHabibi,โ€ a heartfelt tribute to the UAE. Draped in red, white, black, and greenโ€”the nationโ€™s coloursโ€”the shoe blended cultural pride with streetwear flair. The stitched โ€œHabibiโ€ inside sealed it: pure love, sneaker style.

Skate Like A Girl x Nike SB Dunk Low (October 2022)

October 2022 saw Skate Like a Girl roll out their Nike SB Dunk Low, proving style and purpose can share a deck. The Pacific Northwest collective crafted a corduroy-covered classic with custom art and inclusive flair. More than a sneaker, it was a quiet rebellionโ€”built for everyone who rides.

Neckface x Nike SB Dunk Low (October 2022)

Neckfaceโ€™s 2022 Nike SB Dunk Low looked like it crawled straight out of a haunted skatepark. The California artist went full chaos mode, slapping his trademark imps, skulls, and swords across black suede. Each patch felt like a love letter to black metal vests. Even the box looked ready for ritual sacrifice.

Nike SB Dunk Low โ€˜Why So Sad?โ€™ (November 2022)

In November 2022, Nike SB teamed up with John Rattrayโ€™s โ€œWhy So Sad?โ€ campaign to spread mental health awareness through skating and cycling. Featuring calm blue tones and a cheerful seagull logo, the Dunk Low reminded everyone that talking helpsโ€”and sometimes, a โ€œsad plantโ€ trick can spark real conversation.

HUF x Nike SB Dunk Low (November 2022)

November 2022 marked two decades of HUF with a heartfelt Nike SB Dunk Low tribute to Keith Hufnagel. Released in mysterious blind bags, each pair hid either a New York or San Francisco design beneath tear-away panels. The message stitched across every heel said it all: โ€œKeith Forever.โ€

eBay x Nike SB Dunk Low โ€˜Sandy Bodeckerโ€™ (December 2022)

In December 2022, Nike SB and eBay reunited to honour the late Sandy Bodecker, the man behind SBโ€™s rise. The reimagined โ€œSandyโ€ Dunk Low rebuilt the shredded 2003 original with clear panels and patent leather. Each pair carried heartfelt insolesโ€”a fitting tribute to the visionary who kept skate culture authentic.

Concepts x Nike SB Dunk Low โ€˜Orange Lobsterโ€™ (December 2022)

Concepts served another Dunk feast in December 2022 with the โ€œOrange Lobster.โ€ First catching heat in 2002, Bostonโ€™s seafood-inspired series stayed fresh two decades later. With its rich orange suede and picnic-table detailing, this pair proved once again that Concepts know how to season a sneaker just right.

Pawnshop x Nike SB Dunk High โ€˜Old Soulโ€™ (January 2023)

January 2023 brought a heartfelt project from Covinaโ€™s own Pawnshop Skate Co. The Nike SB Dunk High โ€œOld Soulโ€ told Donovon Piscopoโ€™s storyโ€”his dad once pawned a family heirloom to fund his skating dream. With workboot tones and custom detailing, this collab honoured roots, grind, and generational hustle.
