After a few months of delays (we’ve been seeing these teased since February) and plenty of speculation to go along with them, it looks like the Nike SB Rodeo Dunks are finally dropping.
A handful of skateshops have started sharing release details—along with our friends at @nikesbornothing—but your best bet is to start checking in with your local shop ahead of the estimated May 7th release.
Have you seen these? I’m sure you have by now. Regardless, get a closer look below.

And while it’s related, yet unrelated at the same time, the Nike SB CSEF Dunks are hitting skateshops May 1, and we’ve been seeing a ton of shops posting raffle details for those as well. Two big Dunk drops in May? Both within the first week? It’s gonna be a hectic (yet hopefully fruitful) couple of days for skateshops across the board.

At first glance, the Rodeo Dunks are obviously pretty flashy. But I have heard some chatter about the inspiration behind the design that is super rad. Nike SB hasn’t released any official info on that yet, though. So I’ll wait for them to tell that story.
Also, these are definitely the type of Dunks that nobody is actually going to skate, you know? Always down to debate, but yeah, I think this drop is for the Dunk fanatics and sneakerheads more than the local shop kid. To each their own!

Bottom line—May 7 is coming up quick, and these are probably gonna sell out super fast. Will this Dunk hype ever fade? Honestly, I hope not. It’s no secret that skateshops need these drops, so let’s keep supporting ’em as often as we can!
