The Nike SB Dunk Low 'Pushead 1' emerged on December 17, 2005, a product of a significant collaboration. This release was a direct result of Nike SB's strategy to merge skateboarding with mainstream sneaker culture. It was designed to appeal to both skaters and the growing sneakerhead community.
Primarily engineered for skateboarding, the SB Dunk Low 'Pushead 1' offers superior board feel and impact protection. The Zoom Air unit in the insole ensures cushioning, while the padded tongue offers comfort and support. Its robust construction ensures durability, capable of withstanding the rigors of skateboarding.
The 'Pushead 1' holds a hallowed place in sneaker culture, influencing design through its collaboration with Brian Schroeder, better known as Pushead. Pushead's influence, stemming from his work on Zorlac Skateboards, Metallica album covers, and Thrasher tees, is undeniable. This model embodies the synergy of skateboarding, punk aesthetics, and sneaker design.
The upper's intricate design is based on a 35mm film slide, showcasing a paint splatter effect in red, pink, and green hues. The design incorporates black leather overlays, canvas sections featuring Pushead's artwork, and a black leather mudguard and Swoosh. A red rubber outsole with the traditional Dunk traction pattern provides grip.
