Sure, you can wear a pair of SB Dunks to a hike just like any shoe, but we doubt these skate kicks will deliver the performance you need to be comfortable while covering a steep trail. Much as we love that classic silhouette, it just isn’t equipped for those types of outdoor activities. Unless, of course, you equip it accordingly like this Poler x Nike SB Dunk High R/R.
Mixing the SB Dunk High’s versatile silhouette with the outsoles from Nike’s Special Field Boot, these shoes get the same stylish sneaker that’s been a staple of skate culture and streetwear over the last decade, all while receiving trail-friendly reinforcements. Simply put, you get the same comfort and support as the long-running skate shoe, all while sporting better durability, flexibility, and impact absorption.
The Poler x Nike SB Dunk High R/R has a leather and synthetic upper decked in Poler’s signature furry camo pattern, complete with orange accents to give the earthy color scheme a much needed variation. A water-resistant finish ensures it can keep your feet dry, regardless of weather conditions during a hike, while the outsole’s aggressive lugs provide the necessary traction to easily walk over a variety of backwoods surfaces. Features include a waffle outsole design inspired by Nike Free for natural flexibility, flex grooves for better freedom of movement, and a Phylon midsole for lightweight cushioning.
You can check out the Poler x Nike SB Dunk High R/R directly from Poler’s website, where it’s priced at $120.
