Lewis Marnell dominated the Melbourne skateboarding scene and was one of the first Australian riders to join the Nike SB team. Lewis passed away from complications from diabetes in January 2013. Five years later, Lewis's most beloved shoe, the Nike SB Dunk Mid Pro, celebrates the rider who became a role model for the Australian Nike SB team. The premium upper in Lewis' favorite colors features the iconic lion graphic on the heel. "Lewis rode Dunks all the time. He looked great in them, so we all wanted them to be like him," says Shane O'Neill. In honor of Lewis and what he meant to the skateboarding community and the Nike SB family, we've made a donation to the non-profit organization that supports diabetes research. .
