Created for the hardwood but taken to the streets, the Nike Dunk is a must-have in any collection. An icon since 1985 the Nike Dunk Low and High was designed by Peter Moore for wear on the basketball courts and was soon adopted by skaters all over the world. The original inspiration for the look of the Dunk came from the Air Force 1, Air Jordan 1, Nike Terminator and Nike Legend.
The initial "Be True To Your School" pack was inspired by twelve universities known for their NCAA division one basketball programs, including the University of Michigan, UNLV, St. John’s, University of Kentucky, and more. This made the Nike Dunk one of the most worn shoes of the decade. The silhouette became a popular choice off the courts with skaters thanks to it's heavily-durable and well-padded uppers. This was embraced by Nike in 2002 when the Dunk was one of the first silhouettes to receive the SB treatment and was adapted to suit the needs of skateboarders. Over the past 20 years, the Nike Dunk has seen collaborations with Virgil Abloh, Supreme, Travis Scott and Ben and Jerry's. Find out more about the Nike Dunk History.
