The Nike SB Dunk High Pro 'KCDC' materialized as a vibrant tribute to KCDC Skateshop, a bastion of Brooklyn's skateboarding culture, marking its 20th anniversary. This collaboration was born from the shop's inclusive ethos, celebrating two decades of supporting women and LGBTQ+ skateboarders. The design concept drew inspiration from the hardcore punk scene of New York City and the pink-bricked facade of the KCDC shop.
Designed for both skateboarding and casual wear, the Nike SB Dunk High Pro 'KCDC' integrates performance-enhancing features. A Zoom Air unit in the sockliner and heel, coupled with a Phylon midsole, provides superior cushioning. The classic circular underfoot tread and gum rubber outsole ensure optimal grip and board feel for skaters, while also offering comfort for everyday use.
The Nike SB Dunk High Pro 'KCDC' has cemented its place within the pantheon of iconic footwear, celebrated for its unique design and the cultural significance of the KCDC Skateshop. The shoe reflects the legacy of Sandy Bodecker's early SB Dunk designs. It also pays homage to KCDC's commitment to community and inclusivity. The collaboration with KCDC, a women-founded skate shop, has further amplified its influence within the skateboarding and sneaker communities.
This iteration of the SB Dunk High Pro boasts a high-top silhouette crafted from a blend of premium materials. The upper is constructed with pink Durabuck, premium suede overlays, smooth black leather Swooshes, pastel pink nubuck, and buttery pink leather. The shoe incorporates signature elements such as KCDC branding on the heel tab and tongue tag, custom insoles with playful graphics, and a translucent pink/clear gum outsole.
