Nike Dunk is a line of shoes released by Nike in 1985. Originally released as a basketball shoe, the popularity of the shoe among the skating community also led to the creation of a variant used for skateboarding. The shoe is offered in low-, mid- and high-top styles.
Overview
Originally called the College Color High, the shoe was designed by Peter Moore and took elements from the Legend, Terminator, and Air Force 1 shoes.[1] The shoe was popular when it was first released due in part to the different color schemes that were released. These were created to represent the different colors of universities and their basketball teams.[2]
