What Are Nike Dunks?

The Nike Dunk is the basketball shoe Nike launched in 1985, designed by Peter Moore. It borrowed from earlier Nike basketball models such as the Air Jordan 1, the Terminator and the Legend, and wrapped them in a leather upper of panels and overlays that could be dressed in almost any pair of colours.

Today the Nike Dunk comes in three main forms. The Nike Dunk Low is cut below the ankle and is the everyday version of the shoe. The Nike Dunk High keeps the high-top cut the shoe debuted in. The Nike SB Dunk is the skateboarding version from Nike SB, built with a padded tongue and Zoom Air cushioning. All three share the same silhouette and the same instinct for colour.

The History of the Nike Dunk

The first Nike Dunks were high-tops made in the colours of top college basketball teams, including Kentucky and Syracuse, under Nike's "Be True to Your School" campaign, which matched each shoe to a university team. Players and fans could wear their school's colours, and the colour-first idea stuck long after the shoe left the court.

Skaters adopted the Nike Dunk next. In 2002 Nike launched Nike SB and rebuilt the shoe for skateboarding as the Nike SB Dunk Low, adding a padded tongue and Zoom Air cushioning. The SB line turned the Dunk into a canvas for skate shops, artists and designers, and its collaborations became some of the most sought-after sneakers of the decade.

A new chapter opened in 2021, when Nike released the Nike Dunk Low in white and black. The pair, known everywhere as the Panda, took the shoe from collector circles into everyday wear around the world.

Nike Dunk Culture: Courts, Skate Parks and Collaborations

Few sneakers have belonged to as many scenes as the Nike Dunk. College players wore it first, skaters made it theirs, and fashion and music followed. Through every cycle the shoe kept the same shape, which is exactly what made it such a strong canvas for collaborations.

The Nike SB era turned collaborations into events. Diamond Supply Co.'s "Tiffany" Nike SB Dunk Low arrived in 2005 in an aqua and black colourway with croc-embossed overlays, and the same year Jeff Staple's "Pigeon" Nike SB Dunk became a landmark release. Both remain reference points for Dunk collectors.

Off-White brought the Nike Dunk Low to designer fashion in 2019, and in 2021 followed it with THE 50, a set of fifty numbered versions of Virgil Abloh's Dunk Low. For the partnerships that shaped the shoe, read the top 10 Nike Dunk Low collaborations.
