Swoosh label debuted the iconic Dunk sneaker model in 1985 as the veteran Peter Moore designed the silhouette. The shoe was launched as a part of the basketball sneaker lineage with a comfortable sole and clean look. The shoe was further appreciated by the brand due to its chameleon look, which was reiterated in the forms of SB, EMB, and more by lifestyle and skateboarding sections.
The Dunk silhouette became highly popular due to its "BTTYS" (Be True To Your School) sneaker lineage. The younger generation appreciated the shoe's original College-themed color schemes.
The Dunk sneaker model became popular originally due to its Be True To Your School colorway series. The younger generation favored the "collegiate" look of the silhouette as it was clad in the team colors of multiple universities. The shoe's continuous releases in brand-new colorways and retros for almost four decades can be one of the indicators of its success in the footwear industry.
The official Swoosh label's site introduces the sneaker model as,
“From backboards to skateboards, the influence of the Nike Dunk is undeniable. Although introduced as a basketball shoe in 1985, its flat and grippy soles were perfect for a neglected sports community—skaters. Uncovering a subculture craving creativity as much as function, Dunk released decades of countless colorways."
The latest sneaker to make an appearance is Dunk Low "Michigan State," which was previously launched in 2021 via Nike. The sneaker comes clad in a "White / Team Green / White" color scheme. The shoe comes clad in a classic two-toned makeover, which is reminiscent of the previous MSU Spartan color scheme launched in 2020.
The base of the shoe comes clad in a white hue, which can be seen accentuated upon the perforated toe boxes, middle panels, tongues, and heel counters. The white base is overlaid with leather panels upon the forefoot, lacing system, ankle collars, heel tabs, plain cotton laces, and the profile swooshes on both medial and lateral sides.
The Dunk Low "Michigan State" sneakers are expected to be re-released via the official e-commerce site of Nike, the SNKRS app, and select retailers in Summer 2024 at a retail price of $110. The Dunk Low "Michigan State Satin" sneakers were released in April 2023.
