Nike

In 2006, Nike revisited the age-old fairytale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, releasing a Dunk trio based on the story. The Nike SB design team went above and beyond with the ‘Three Bears Pack’ to “mirror the cast and coat” of the popular tale.

Of the three Dunk pairs released – a high, a mid, and a low – this low pair was nicknamed the ‘Baby Bear’, a play on the Baby Bear character in the story. Most striking is the use of a shaggy, soft faux fur, which mimics that of a bear, alongside contrasting blue panels. The ‘Three Bears Pack’ is also notable for having introduced the mid-cut to the SB line. 

What sets Nike SB apart from other competitive brands is the unbridled creativity, collaborators, materials, and whimsical highly thematic designs that define a generation of sneakerheads. Nike has explored hundreds of concepts – often with a sense of humor – through its Nike Dunks. From designs that range from beer bottles, to guitar cases, to horror films, jewelry, animals, arts and cities – the Dunks represent some of the most beloved and creative models for the brand.
