Nike's basketball shoe line was fairly popular in the skateboarding scene, and the Dunk soon became a popular shoe for riders due to the stability and lower profile sole which improved grounding performance. After some time, Nike created a Dunk specifically for skateboarders, known as the Nike SB Dunk. It features an extra-padded "puffy tongue" (common among skateboarding sneakers) and Nike's patented Zoom Air insole. Since then, the SB Dunk has become a popular subcultural icon for so-called sneakerheads, or enthusiastic sneaker-collectors.

I've noticed that the new Dunk SB's being released now does NOT have the trademark "fat tongue" that some of us (like myself has come to know and love). The fat tongue is what distinguishes SB dunks to any old, normal dunk. How do YOU feel about this?
