Nike Womens Dunk Trainers in Sea Glass, Light Silver and Vapour Green. Originally created for the basketball court but it didn’t take long for it to leak out onto the streets. This 1980s legend is back bigger and better than ever with its lush leather upper, lightweight foam midsole and ultra-responsive cushioning. With a low-cut padded ankle collar, rubber outsole with classic hoops pivot circle for optimal durability and tractions. Born from a series of mash-ups, hacks and tight deadlines, the Nike Dunk landed on US college basketball courts during the '85–'86 season. While the original 'College Colours' designs helped fans stay true to their school, the Dunk didn't prove to be popular. But it was this humble sneaker's lack of popularity—and flat, grippy soles—that helped it jump the rails to captivate skateboarders. Decades later, this everyday favourite continues to be snatched up in countless colourways, proving its influence is undeniable.
