There is a common misconception that in order to be fashionable, you have to sacrifice your bank account. I’m here to tell you that is not the case. A price tag does not dictate fashionability. Sure, you can find sneakers going for astronomical amounts of money, but why? For a single pair of “rare” SB Dunk Lows, you could have yourself five pairs of the “common” SB Dunk Lows. It may seem like the quantity over quality argument applies to this situation, but it doesn’t. Why, exactly? Because they are the same shoes. The difference in cost is relative to the name, colorway, release date, et cetera. But all of that doesn’t matter to the average individual. We just want to look good. If you want to look fashionable without putting your livelihood on the line, check out my five banging SB Dunk Low recommendations.

1. Nike SB Dunk Low Fog (Approx. $190)
People always ask me, “Lucas, why do you wear so much black?”. Isn’t the answer obvious? Because it goes with everything! That is the precise reason why you can’t go wrong with the SB Dunk Low Fogs. Yes, they are plain, but that is a good thing. Not every article of clothing needs to be an attention grabber. Sleekness is far more preferable, and these sneakers are the definition of sleek. It would be hard to name another shoe that is so versatile and at the same price point (price varies by size). If you are looking for a new pair of black shoes, look no further. The answer is right here.

2. Nike SB Dunk Low Barcelona (Approx. $220)
Contrary to the previous recommendation, these dunks are on the flashier side. Red, navy, and yellow are the primary colors of this shoe, just like the Barcelona soccer team emblem. Hence the name SB Dunk Low Barcelona. Creative, don’t you think? These sneakers will definitely be harder to work into your everyday style; however, don’t let that dissuade you from purchasing them. These shoes are made to be the focal point of your outfit, at an affordable price. If you want a show that will be noticed, this is the shoe for you.

3. Nike SB Dunk Low Truck It (Approx. $350)
This shoe is a bit on the pricier end, I understand, but I couldn’t help but include it in my list. This shoe is just nice to look at. The design of the sneaker flows together so well. I never thought a navy and baby blue contrasted swoosh on a beige background would look so good. This isn’t a shoe I would recommend for everyday use, as it would break my heart to see them bruised and battered. Also, considering the price, I would say this shoe is best reserved for special occasions. Either way, you add this shoe to your collection, and you will be looking snazzy.

4. Nike SB Dunk Court Purple (Approx. $330)
This is another shoe that leans toward the pricier side, but it is well worth it. You're given plenty of stylistic freedom- the shoe is mainly black and white with purple accents. Even if purple isn’t for you, this shoe will have you reconsidering. If I could add a pair of shoes to my collection from this list, it would be the Court Purples. Do not take that statement lightly.

5. Nike SB Dunk Infrared Orange Label (Approx. $310)
Last but definitely not least, this shoe is a beauty. The different shades of grey truly allow for the infrared to pop off the shoe. The accents are attention grabbers, and the shoe design itself is just smooth. If you are looking for a shoe in between flashy and sleek at a reasonable price, this is the shoe for you. With these five SB Dunks in your collection, you will have the perfect shoe for any occasion. Take my advice, you won’t regret it!
