Nike Dunk

The Nike Dunk, specifically the Nike Dunk Low, is one of the most highly sought-after silhouettes ever released by Nike. The sneaker's history began in August 1985 with the release of the Nike Dunk High. Originally released as a high-top basketball sneaker, the Nike Dunk was inspired and crafted out of four earlier Nike Air Force 1, the Nike Terminator, the Air Jordan 1, and the Nike Legend.

The predecessors of the Nike Dunk played a role in shaping its final form, but it was the backstory behind its inaugural release that added a unique charm to the silhouette. Introduced in 1985, the Nike Dunk debut coincided intentionally with the zenith of basketball's popularity, notably highlighted by the emergence of Michael Jordan as a prominent figure in the sport.

In addition to the boom of basketball, skate culture also grew in the 1990s. Skateboarders embraced the Nike Dunk for their sturdy construction, cup-sole design, and overall durability. In 2002, Nike SB was born, an official subdivision of Nike dedicated to skate. Basketball shoe turned skateboarding staple, the birth of Nike SB also saw the introduction of the Nike SB Dunk Low, possibly the most popular model for Nike SB to date.
