In 1985, the Dunk started its trajectory to become one of the most influential and popular Nike designs. Starting its life as a collegiate model for NCAA schools, the Dunk was produced in team colors like Syracuse and Kentucky. As footwear innovations surpassed the Dunk, the model caught the attention of the skateboarding community, who embraced the shoe, giving rise to the 2002 Nike SB Dunk. Thanks to Nike SB and the many Dunk collaborations, the silhouette has helped to define global sneaker culture. Key colorways include the Dunk High ‘Dusted Clay,’ Dunk High ‘Doernbecher,’ ‘Court Purple’ and many more.
