Nike SB Dunk High Decon Gorge Green

The Nike SB Dunk High Decon Gorge Green is a refreshing take on one of skateboarding’s most iconic silhouettes, blending minimalistic design with elevated materials for a truly unique collector’s piece. Released on October 1, 2022, this iteration of the Dunk High steps away from the padded, bulky structure traditionally associated with SBs, instead offering a sleek, deconstructed look that highlights craftsmanship over flash.

The “Decon” (short for deconstructed) treatment strips the Dunk down to its essentials. No heavy padding, no extra bulk—just pure form. Gorge Green suede wraps the upper in a deep, rich tone that plays beautifully with light and texture. Instead of being hidden under layers of structure, the soft suede becomes the star, allowing the quality of the materials to speak for themselves. Subtle tonal stitching enhances the stripped-back aesthetic, while the absence of a puffed tongue or heavy ankle padding brings a lightweight, flexible feel that skaters and casual wearers alike can appreciate.

What makes this release particularly special for collectors is how it taps into Nike SB’s experimental roots. In the early 2000s, Nike SB built its reputation by flipping traditional designs on their head—and the Decon series carries that spirit forward. It challenges what an SB Dunk High can be, offering an almost luxury-like refinement while still retaining the rugged DNA that made SBs beloved.
