Sometimes, one stroke of genius can create a legacy, a story, or an interesting sneaker line. And today, we’re gonna talk about the Nike What The line that made waves in the sneaker industry on multiple occasions. Sure, Air Jordans are cool, but have you ever seen a pair of wicked-looking kicks worth a fortune? Well, we’re about to show you that and dive into the history of this interesting line. But before we do, make sure you check out our blog for the latest sneaker news and copping guides! Now, let’s jump in, shall we?
What the Heck is Nike What The?
We really couldn’t help the joke—sorry, not sorry! Anyway, let’s talk a bit about the history of Nike What The. The year is 2007, and the Nike SB division blew up a few years earlier! Now, the division was all about being bold as skateboarders should be. And that’s when they decided to give us a mashup of all our previous favorites. The idea with Nike What The was to create a shoe that pays tribute to all fan favorites in one shoe. And well, nobody knew that it was gonna be this big! In fact, from skateboarding to basketball, we got so many Nike What The gems. So, let’s check them out!

Honorable Mention: Nike SB Dunk High What The Doernbecher
So this one was never really a general release. However, it does deserve an honorable mention because it was a release for a cause! In 2015, Nike created the SB Dunk What The Doernbecher which was a collage of 13 different previous Doernbecher Freestyle designs. The end result was eleven unique sneakers that were auctioned off on eBay. And of course, all the proceeds from this auction went to the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital!
But That’s Not the End…
If you think that the Nike What The line gave us everything it has, you’re pretty wrong. You see, every once in a while, Nike drops a banger mashup that takes the industry by storm. From the rumored return of the Nike Kobe 8 WTK, there’s always a pair that will leave us saying ‘What The…?’ And because you should be on top of your game, you should have a leg up on the competition. Luckily for you, NSB3 can do that for you regardless of where you wanna cop your kicks from. So, make sure you give yourself a treat and get your NSB3 copy today. Who knows? You might get a side gig out of it. Godspeed!
