DeLorean Nike Dunk

Rooting into skate culture
Nike's basketball shoe line was fairly popular in the skateboarding scene, and the Dunk soon became a popular shoe for skaters due to the stability and lower profile sole which improved grounding performance. In 2002, Nike created a Dunk specifically for skateboarders, known as the Nike Dunk SB. It features an extra-padded "puffy tongue" (common among skateboarding sneakers) and Nike's patented Zoom Air insole. Since then, the SB Dunk has become a popular icon for enthusiastic sneaker-collectors, and has hit the streetwear fashion scene. Nike currently collaborates with many designers to create special edition and collectible Dunks. The popularitiy of these dunks has grown so wide that it has prompted Nike to create many other kinds of shoes specifically for skateboarding such Paul Rodriguez's, Tre's, Blazer's, and Team Editions to name a few. These shoes mimic the colorways and limited quantities of that of Nike Dunk Sb's, which increases their value and appeal.
Role in the Jerk Culture
The shoe has been used heavily in the Jerkin' movement. In the culture, most "Jerks" wear high top shoes, and the Dunk is one of the most used shoes in the movement. Most of the time they use the versions of the shoes with bright loud colors. Many different types of colors and types are also used.
