Short for Nike SkateBoarding. Nike's foray into the skateboard shoe market.
Although Nike basketball shoes were already popular among skateboarders during the 80s due to their strong grips and durable ankle support, the Nike SB is the first offical Nike skateboarding shoe.
It's also become somewhat of a pop culture phenomenon with many non-skaters wearing the shoe.
Hey man, that's a fresh pair of Nike SBs!

Quite possibly the biggest and most ridiculous fad the world will ever see. They are skateboarding shoes by Nike, and people pay shitloads of money for them when they look like they are shoes that 5-year olds would wear. Fuck Nike for making them, they never gave a fuck about skateboarding but realized they could cash in so they decided to make these pieces of turds. A lot of people who buy these don't even skateboard, they just collect them to show off.
Loser: Yo, look at my fresh ass Nike SB dunks! I dropped $1000 for this shit
Me: Fuck outta here, my little cousin wears shoes that look like those.
