The Nike SB Dunk is just nine years old, but in that short span of time the SB Dunk has amassed of rich history filled with enough stories to make it worthy of its own book (oh wait, there IS a Nike SB Dunk book). For the 2011 chapter, Nike SB has re-tooled the Nike SB Dunk to create the most rider-specific performance skate shoe without compromising the classic styling of the Nike Dunk. This side-by-side comparison of a Nike SB Dunk and a new 2011 version reveals some of these changes that you might not notice right away; the tongue bottom sole, forefoot lace construction, outsole traction, midsole cushioning, heel construction, and toebox construction are all detailed below so take a look at this great side-by-side comparison of the Nike SB Dunk new and old and let us know what you think. via SPoT.
