From the side profile, fake Dunks lay completely flat on the ground, while real Dunks lift upward (near the tip of the shoe). The circular perforations on the toe box are more shallow and inconsistent on fakes, while real Dunks feature deep and evenly spaced perforations throughout the toe box.

In 2003, Nike produced three pairs of the eBay x Nike SB Dunk Low. One was sold for 26k, the second was cut into four pieces, and the final pair was gifted to the late Sandy Bodecker in 2008 as a retirement gift. For 2022, the Dunk Low returns in the same color scheme as the original.

Limited Supply and High Demand Nike deliberately limits the release of new Dunk Low colorways to maintain scarcity and hype. This creates a sense of urgency and encourages people to buy them as soon as they become available. Additionally, high demand from collectors and enthusiasts contributes to the limited supply.
