Nike Dunk

The Nike Dunk was originally released in 1985 as a basketball shoe, designed by Peter Moore (the same designer behind the Air Jordan 1). It was created for college basketball and featured in Nike’s iconic “Be True to Your School” campaign, with colorways inspired by top universities.

While it began on the court, the Dunk found a second life in the skateboarding and streetwear scene, especially in the early 2000s with the launch of Nike SB Dunk, which added extra padding and Zoom Air support.

Today, the Nike Dunk — both original and SB versions — is a cultural icon, celebrated for its bold colorways, limited collabs, and deep roots in both sport and style. From classic college colors to collabs with Off-White, Travis Scott, Supreme, and more, the Dunk continues to be a must-have for sneakerheads and collectors worldwide.
