Nike Sb Concord on Feet: Why Sneakerheads Are Paying Top Dollar Again
Getting the sizing right on the 2013 Concord Dunk is notoriously tricky because Nike SB altered its internal construction between 2011 and 2014. Pairs from this era feature a denser Zoom Air unit embedded in the polyurethane insole, alongside thick internal elastic tongue-centering straps. Combined with the non-forgiving nature of the patent leather perimeter, the shoe has zero lateral stretch across the forefoot.
Wearers with narrow feet can stick to their standard Nike sport shoe size and enjoy a locked-in, snug hold. Anyone with average to wide feet must go up a half size. If you wear a US 10 in standard Air Jordan 1s or regular Nike Dunk Low retros, you will need a US 10.5 in the Concord SB. Squeezing into your normal size will cause the rigid patent leather mudguard to pinch into the fifth metatarsal bone within thirty minutes of walking. Unlike leather Dunks that stretch out after breaking in, the synthetic-coated mudguard on this model never yields.
