Since the beginning, skateboarders have used the Nike Blazer and Nike Jordan 1 for skateboarding. At the very beginning, the NIKE concern tried to launch the SAVIER brand, but unfortunately it failed (it is worth mentioning that Stefan Janoski was also in the team at that time). The current NIKE SKATEBOARDING was launched in 2002. It was then that Danish skates were released, which were slightly different from the usual ones - they were softer, stronger, intended for skateboarding. Another milestone was the signing of Paul Rodriguez's contract with Nike SB. Thanks to this, just 3 years after the launch of the brand, the first athlete pro-model appears - the P-ROD skateboarder. In the same year, Lance Mountain decided to remake the famous Blazer basketball model into the Nike Blazer SB. It ended with great success. Nike SB was slowly conquering the skateboarding market, in 2007 it released the NIKE SB film "Nothing but the truth", which had a positive impact in the skateboarding world. The following years saw the increasing development of Nike SB.
2009 NIKE SB releases the STEFAN JANOSKI pro model, which turns out to be an all-time bestseller. In the same year, Erick Koston left Lakai for Nike SB.
2010 saw increasing acceptance of NIKE SB as a skateboard brand and sales in real skateboard stores.
In 2011, Sean Malto joined the team, and a year later (2012) Alex Olson. Thanks to all these steps, NIKE SB is increasingly strengthening its position in the world of skateboarding.
The most important event of 2013 was the premiere of the film NIKE SB Chronicles Vol. 2, with the last part featuring Ishod Wair (who also won the SOTY 2013 - Skater Of The Year by Thrasher magazine thanks to this performance). 2013 also saw two new additions to the team: Ben Raybourn and Trevor Colden, who left the Emerica brand for NIKE SB. 2014 was rather stable due to the collection of material for the latest production (NIKE SB Chronicles Vol. 3). Youness Amrani joined the official Nike team.
The year 2015 brings further important events. Joining the team of stars such as Nyjah Huston and Guy Mariano. Additionally, NIKE SB Chronicles Vol. 3 will be released, which once again surprised in many respects.
