Nike Dunk

Beginning as a game-changing basketball silhouette, transforming itself into a skate icon, and currently standing as one of the most celebrated street-ready sneakers available, the versatile Nike Dunk launched its legacy on sportswear style and has brilliantly exceeded all expectations throughout time. Making its first appearance in the 1985 ‘Be True To Your School’ Pack, the hypnotic Dunk High released in several different collegiate colorways so that athletes and fans alike could all get in on the action. Fast forward to the early 2000’s and this essential basketball shoe takes on a whole new persona as the Nike SB Dunk Low, a streamlined adaptation that would stun the skate scene and help to cement the Dunk’s evolution as a streetwear staple. The Nike SB Dunk Low City Series featured four different interpretations of the low top model, including the Dunk Low Pro SB “Paris” and “NYC Pigeon” which are widely regarded as major influences in sneaker history. Both iconic Dunks are featured in our personal Top 10, located here: Snipes Top 10 Dunks of All Time | SNIPES. Featuring the design lines of the Air Force 1, the outsole of the Air Jordan 1, and the soul of multiple generations of athletes, artists, and sneakerheads all wrapped into one, the Nike Dunk lives on as a durable and dynamic footwear piece that continues to push boundaries and drive culture today.
