Who designed this sneaker?

Peter Moore is credited as the designer of the Nike SB Dunk Low TRD. The inspiration for the Dunk series, in general, is rooted in basketball designs from the '80s, which were inadvertently perfect for skateboarding due to their grippy soles. Sandy Bodecker, the head of Nike SB at the time, noticed this trend and reintroduced the Dunk in 2002 with modifications catering to skateboarders, emphasizing durability and comfort while maintaining the Dunk aesthetic.
