Nike SB Dunks


Ten Reasons why this is one of my favorite designs:


1) Being an owner of three pairs, I love them for their comfort. The sole of the shoe is fairly flexible and the toe box is roomy.

2) The shoe is incredibly light and almost fools me into thinking that I'm running faster than I actually am.

3) Aesthetically, the design is just pretty to look at. I love the color accents against the white and light grey body.

4) The material used is soft in all the right parts, such as the tongue and the back of the shoe. I have never gotten a blister from wearing these.

5) I have a fairly high arch, and these shoes seem to support them pretty well. Compared to my other shoes, these are my top choice when I want to go on longer runs.

6) The laces are just long enough and thin enough that they don't untie easily. (Compared to the rounded laces that are often found on running shoes.)

7) The structure of the shoe is expressed with the suede accents. The rest of the shoe is a flexible cloth making the shoe breathable and flexible.

8) Good heel support, with the height, and there seems to be a bit of bounce towards the back.

9) Noticed while running outside on the pavement that the grip of the shoe is really nice. Sometimes (even with newer running shoes) they aren't very good on gravel or more slippery surfaces.

10) The whole shoe in general feels roomier because it's so light and flexible. I could wear them all day. (and often do.)
