Nike Dunk Sneakers

The cult Nike Dunk sneakers

Nike Dunk is one of those Nike designs that truly earned cult status. The famous sneakers were introduced to the world in 1985. They were built to give basketball players maximum comfort and better protection against injuries. Back then American league games drew huge crowds, and the stars of the sport inspired millions of young people. Dunks were also embraced by names from the music and entertainment world.

What defines Nike Dunk

Nike Dunk shoes quickly won over professional basketball players, but it is worth knowing that in the mid-80s they were first worn by college athletes. Nike created the College Colours programme and offered 12 colourways for the best schools in the USA. A few years after the launch, Nike Dunks started showing up in skateparks too, because their construction turned out to work brilliantly on a board. More than that, Nike Dunk made its way into pop culture and film. The fresh design and distinctive silhouette were such a hit that plenty of basketball and skate fans - plus people who simply appreciated comfortable shoes - started wearing Dunks every day. Worth adding: in some ways these shoes resembled the Air Force 1 released three years earlier.What does every streetwear head need to know about Dunks? The upper of the classic Nike Dunk is made from high-grade full-grain leather. Perforations improve the fit and provide good ventilation. The foam insole delivers great cushioning, and the extremely durable low-profile rubber outsole grips on all kinds of surfaces. The soft interior deserves credit too - you can walk in these all day without a word of complaint.

Nike Dunk Low & Nike Dunk High

At first only the High version was produced. The first release came a few months after the groundbreaking Air Jordan, which is often compared to the Dunk and even called its prototype. The high collar of the Nike Dunk High protects the ankle from injury and keeps it stable. This model is ideal when the weather is not on your side. When it is cold, windy and wet outside, the High does a better job than the low-cut version. These shoes are perfect for autumn and work on a milder winter day too. With the Nike Dunk Low, the advantage is an unrestricted range of motion around the ankle. This version is lighter and gives you more freedom.
