About Nike Nike SB Dunk Low Big Money Savings
What is Nike SB Dunk Low Big Money Savings?
The Nike SB Dunk Low Big Money Savings is a skate-oriented reinterpretation of the classic 1980s basketball silhouette. Constructed with a full-grain leather upper that softens and develops a subtle patina, the shoe retains the low-cut profile that skaters favor for board feel. A padded collar and foam-filled midsole give cushioning without sacrificing board-level feedback, while the rubber outsole incorporates a traditional pivot point and herringbone tread for grip on both concrete and indoor surfaces. The “Big Money Savings” colorway references vintage team palettes, offering a muted teal-gray base with contrasting white and orange accents that stand out without overwhelming the street-style aesthetic.

Is Nike SB Dunk Low Big Money Savings right for you?
The Nike SB Dunk Low Big Money Savings suits skaters who have progressed beyond beginner tricks and seek a shoe that blends performance with heritage style. Its padded collar and responsive midsole suit intermediate to advanced riders who value board feel without sacrificing comfort. If you prefer a lighter canvas option, consider entry-level skate shoes, while those craving maximum protection may look at high-impact skate boots. This model offers a balanced choice for style-conscious riders.
How it compares: Compared with basic canvas skate shoes, the Big Money Savings delivers superior leather durability and a more refined aesthetic. Against premium skate-boot models, it remains lighter and offers greater board feel, though it provides less ankle support than dedicated basketball sneakers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Nike SB Dunk Low Big Money Savings suitable for skateboarding?
▾
The shoe’s low-cut silhouette, padded collar, and responsive foam midsole give skaters the board feel needed for tricks while still providing enough cushioning for comfort. The rubber outsole features a classic pivot point and herringbone tread, delivering reliable grip on both smooth skatepark surfaces and rough street pavement.
Does the leather upper require special care?
▾
Yes, the full-grain leather upper benefits from occasional conditioning to maintain its softness and prevent drying. A light leather cleaner followed by a breathable conditioner applied once every few months will keep the material supple, preserve its natural patina, and extend the shoe’s lifespan.
How does the cushioning compare to other Nike SB models?
▾
The cushioning in the Big Money Savings sits between the low-profile Nike SB Dunk Low and the more plush Nike SB Blazer. Its foam midsole offers a responsive feel that supports board tricks without the bulk of a high-stack sole, making it a versatile choice for riders who want both comfort and control.
Is the shoe appropriate for casual wear?
▾
Absolutely. The muted teal-gray base with orange accents gives the Dunk a subtle retro vibe that pairs well with jeans, joggers, or casual shorts. The leather construction adds a polished look, while the low-cut profile keeps the silhouette sleek enough for everyday outfits beyond the skatepark.
Can I use these shoes for light basketball?
▾
While the Dunk Low originated as a basketball shoe, the SB version prioritizes skate performance. The leather upper and responsive midsole can handle occasional indoor court play, but the low-cut design offers less ankle support than dedicated basketball sneakers. For occasional pick-up games, they are acceptable, though not ideal for high-intensity competition.
