More about the upcoming Nike SB Dunk Low "Court Purple Gum" sneakers

The Dunk was originally released in 1985 as the veteran Peter Moore designed the model. The design was launched as a part of the basketball shoe lineup, but it was slowly accepted as a part of a skateboarding and lifestyle label.

The Swoosh's skating sub-label debuted the SB Dunk sneakers in 2002. Its website introduces the silhouette as follows:

"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."

The shoes are constructed out of leather material, clad in two-toned makeover. The base of the shoe comes in a white hue, which can be seen accentuated upon the tumbled leather mid-panels, perforated toe boxes, and heels. The white contrasts with the violet suede overlays.

The violet suede material can be seen accentuated upon the forefoot, lacing system, heel counters, and ankle collars. White is additionally added upon the laces, knit mesh tongues and sockliners. The look is finished with gum rubber outsoles.
