The Nike Dunk Low is an easy score for your sneaker collection. Soft foam underfoot is combined with hits of premium leather and a rubber outsole to help make this icon ready for play at breaktime and on the court. Born from a series of mash-ups, hacks and tight deadlines, the Nike Dunk landed on college basketball courts during the '85–'86 season. While the original 'College Colours' designs helped fans stay true to their school, the Dunk didn't prove to be popular. But it was this humble sneaker's lack of popularity—and flat, grippy soles—that helped it jump the rails to captivate skateboarders. Decades later, this everyday favourite continues to be snatched up in countless colourways, proving its influence is undeniable.
