The Nike Dunk debuted in 1985 as a basketball shoe, designed for college teams under the “Be True to Your School” campaign. With its high-top and low-top variations, durable leather construction, and excellent grip, it quickly gained popularity beyond the court. Over time, the Dunk became a skateboarding favorite, leading to the creation of Nike SB Dunks with extra padding and Zoom Air cushioning. Today, the Dunk is a streetwear staple, known for its bold colorways, collaborations, and cultural impact.
