Creating The Nike SB x Ebay Tribute Dunk Box (Sold for $40,000!!!) – KEEN

February 14, 2023 No Comments

A 20 year story in the making, Nike SB and ebay paid tribute to the patriarch of Nike Skateboarding, Sandy Bodecker, with the launch of 10 Charity Dunk Lows benefitting the Bodecker Foundation. Each Special edition box came complete with 1 pair of the Tribute Dunk, an homage to the original Charity Dunk, 1 pair of the 2022 release eBay Dunk, a commemorative saw, and commemorative plaque.

Plus, YOU CAN SKATE THE BOX! Each of these super custom/commemorative skateable shoe boxes were auctioned off on eBay with 100% of the proceeds going towards the Bodecker Foundation, which fund a variety of programs aimed to empower creative youth to imagine and achieve their artistic, educational, and professional dreams.

Through the auction of these boxes, they were able to raise a total of $355,000!

Nike S.B. | Remembering Sandy Bodecker

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.
