Companion for every day: Nike Dunk
The first Nike Dunk was launched in 1985. It was a further development of the Air Jordan 1. The shoe should shine on the basketball court, but also work in everyday life. Peter Moore was responsible for the design. Initially, there was the high silhouette (Nike Dunk High), which was available in 12 colorways. These corresponded to the colors of the most important teams in college basketball. Now fans could support their favorites not only with their presence, but also with their fashion.
The shoe was so successful that a short time later a model with a low silhouette also appeared (Nike Dunk Low). This version was very popular among skateboarders. The sneaker is functional, durable, comfortable and stylish at the same time. It features a cushioning system. The sole is designed so that you can feel the board when skating. In 2002, Nike came to the decision to establish its own line for skate: Nike Skateboarding.
For both the high and low silhouette of the Nike Dunk, there were regularly new colorways or retro versions. Particularly popular are the “Wu-Tang Clan x Nike Dunk High”, the “Nike Dunk High Panda”, the “Nike Dunk High Rebel”, the “Nike Dunk Low Pro SB Futura”, the “Nike Dunk Low Retro Panda” and the “Off White Nike Dunk Low”.
The Nike Dunk is also well received by celebrities: Jason Sudeikis, Kylie Jenner, Joel Madden, Common, Robert Pattinson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Travis Scott and Hailey Bieber like to show themselves in the sneakers. They usually combine it with sporty and relaxed outfits.
