Nike SB | 20 Years of Nike Skateboarding

December 16, 2022 No Comments

While Nike celebrated a half century, they threw their own 20-year party. Let’s rewind to 2002 to where it all began, for a second time.

After many unsuccessful forays into skateboarding, Nike tapped a visionary by the name of Sandy Bodecker to lead a new charge. Fresh off his success integrating Nike into an equally challenging world of global football, Sandy quickly had Nike heading in the right direction with skateboarding, too.

It started with four of the most stylish dudes to ever ride a skateboard and, as they say, the rest is history. Head to NikeSB.com see how they navigated the last two decades and get a glimpse of where we’re going.

Nike S.B. | Remembering Sandy Bodecker

October 2, 2019 No Comments

Since working his way up from a footwear tester at Nike in the 80s, Sandy Bodecker left his mark on everything from running to soccer at the Swoosh. His most lasting legacy, though, was giving skaters a voice at Nike and building SB from a crazy idea into what it is today.

With an outsized personality, a stubborn will and two middle fingers always in the air, if it was impossible, Sandy was the guy to get it done. He helped shape everything that Nike SB has become: from the team of riders to the way we think about the shoes themselves.

Although he passed away in October of 2018, his fingerprints are still all over everything we do here at Nike SB. This is our tribute to the man who put the SB in Nike SB. Respect.
