The Drop
The Nike SB Dunk Low Court Purple (BQ6817-500) dropped as a clean, wearable skate option that leans into the timeless purple-and-white blocking reminiscent of early 2000s SB glory days. No major collab attached, but the colorway speaks for itself—Court Purple is a heritage Nike hue that resonates with both Jordan heads and Dunk purists. It's the kind of release that flies under hype-radar but ages well in rotation.
Resell Verdict
Currently sitting around $129 fair resell, with asks fluctuating between $95 and $176 depending on size and condition. The market's steady—not mooning, but holding value above retail chaos thanks to consistent demand from skaters and casual collectors. With 52 weekly orders, there's real liquidity here. Flip margin is modest, aber for patient sellers who copped retail or snagged sale pairs, it's a safe low-risk hold. Don't expect Off-White numbers, but it won't brick either.
Fake Tells
- ▸Tongue tag font: Reps often mess up the Nike SB embroidery spacing—authentic tags have crisp, evenly-spaced stitching
- ▸Midsole paint: Fakes show uneven paint bleed where purple meets white; legit pairs have clean separation
- ▸Box label: Check the SKU matches BQ6817-500 exactly—counterfeiters recycle box codes or misprint the style number
Who It's For
Perfect for skaters who actually session their shoes and collectors building a Dunk rotation without chasing Travis Scott money. Low-key enough for daily wear, bold enough to stand out at the park or casual Friday.
Sizing & Fit
Nike SB Dunks traditionally run true to size, though the padded tongue can feel snug initially—break-in period recommended for wider feet.
