    Nike SB is a specialized line launched by Nike in 2002 to make a full-fledged entry into the skateboarding market. Building on the cushioning and material technologies developed for regular Nike footwear, it incorporates designs suited to skateboarding-specific landings, board control, and durability, and offers shoes, apparel, and team-related products. Unlike general sports categories such as Nike Running and Nike Basketball, it is positioned as a highly specialized line centered on skaters, skate shops, and skate culture.
