NIKE DUNK HIGH


The Nike Dunk High was first introduced in 1985 as part of Nike's “Be True to Your School” campaign, designed by Peter Moore for college basketball athletes Its original purpose was to provide excellent ankle support and court performance, featuring a high-top silhouette inspired by the Air Jordan 1, Air Force 1, and adidas Terminator Initially, it released in team-inspired colorways from colleges like Syracuse, Kentucky, and UNLV, reinforcing team spirit while gaining attention for its bold aesthetic. The Dunk’s durable construction later allowed it to cross over into skate culture, culminating in the 2002 launch of the Nike SB Dunk, with enhancements for skateboarding
