Where to Buy Nike SB Dunks, and What They Actually Cost

Two things make Nike SB Dunks confusing to shop for: the retail price is not one number, and the ones everyone talks about are not the ones you can actually buy.

Sort those out and it turns into an easy purchase. There are more SB Dunks sitting in skate shops at a discount than there are people queueing for raffles.

What is an SB Dunk, and how is it different from a normal Dunk?

It is the skate version, and the differences are structural rather than cosmetic.

Sole Retriever’s description is the clearest short one: the SB Dunk Low arrived in 2002 as a skateboarding adaptation of the 1985 Nike Dunk, and it adds extra padding on the tongue and collar, a Zoom Air insole for impact protection, and a grippy rubber outsole built for board feel.

That matters when you are shopping, because “Dunk Low” and “SB Dunk Low” are different shoes at different prices, and search results mix them freely.

What do Nike SB Dunks cost at retail?

Between $110 and $140 in the US, depending on the release. There is no single RRP.

Reading down Sole Retriever’s Nike SB Dunk Low release calendar, the pattern is clear enough to shop by:

For a concrete anchor, Nike’s own product record for an SB Dunk Low Pro gives a full price of $130 — and had it discounted to $99.97 in a back-to-school promotion when we looked, marked 23% off. Nike puts SB Dunks on sale like any other shoe.

In the UK, the equivalent figure is about £110: Nike UK lists the SB Dunk Low Pro at £109.99, and Welcome Skate Store lists current Dunk Low Pro colourways at £110.00, with the Dunk High Pro at £120.00.

Where can I buy them in the US?

Nike direct, or a skate shop — and the skate shop is not the second-best option.

• Nike.com and SNKRS carry general releases, and Nike discounts them in seasonal sales like anything else.
• Skate shops are woven into the line rather than being an overflow for it. The release calendar makes the point better than any explanation: 2026’s SB Dunk Lows include collaborations named Bluetile ($135), Bronx Girls Skate ($140), Limosine ($135) and NOTE Manchester Brew and Biscuits ($130). Those are skate shops and skate brands, not fashion houses.

If a specific hyped pair is what you want, the shop that it is named after is the place to watch, and it will usually run a draw rather than a first-come sale.

Where can I buy them in the UK?

Nike UK for general releases, and British skate shops for everything else — including the discounted stock.

The split is worth understanding. Launches and raffles are for the pairs with demand well beyond supply. Everything else is ordinary stock you can just buy, and British skate shops carry a lot of it.

The part most guides leave out: plenty of SB Dunks are on sale

When we looked at one UK skate shop’s Dunk collection, nine of the pairs we could read were reduced, some heavily.

Welcome Skate Store had 28 distinct Dunks listed. Alongside the £110 current colourways sat a long tail of older ones, and these are the reduced pairs we could read prices for:

A Limosine collaboration at half price is the detail worth sitting with. That is a skate-brand SB Dunk, the exact category people pay resale premiums for, marked down in a shop because its moment passed.

Sizes vary — some are available and some are not, which is normal for end-of-run stock. But the headline stands: if you want an SB Dunk rather than that SB Dunk, you are shopping in a buyer’s market.

Why are some pairs impossible to get, then?

Because SB deliberately makes some releases small and routes them through the skate world.

The hyped end of the line is built to be scarce, and the scarcity is concentrated in the collaborations. That is why the price ladder tops out at the shop collabs, and why those are the ones that need a raffle entry rather than a checkout.

The practical read for a buyer: decide first whether you want a pair or the pair. If it is a pair, retail is easy and often discounted. If it is the pair, you are entering draws at named shops and competing with resale.

How do I avoid overpaying?

Check the release price before you accept a resale price.

• Look up the style code. Every SB Dunk has one — the ones above run like IQ1323-001 and IO9508-200 — and the release calendars list the retail price against it. If a listing is well above that and the shoe is not a famous collaboration, it is a marked-up general release.
• Check the skate shops before the marketplaces. A colourway that sold out on Nike may still be sitting at a shop, sometimes at less than it originally cost.
• Remember Nike’s own sales. The same shoe that resells at a premium can be 23% off on Nike.com during a seasonal promotion.
• Do not confuse Dunk with SB Dunk. They are different products at different prices, and the cheaper search result is often not the shoe you were looking for.
