Nike Dunk sneakers were originally conceived as basketball shoes for college athletes, but their versatility and impressive silhouette saw them become popular worldwide. The Dunk sneaker, released in 1985, was marketed with the slogan, "Be True To Your School," because of Nike's intended consumer base.
The Dunk Highs, the original 1985 design, soon fizzled out in popularity amongst mainstream sneakerheads. However, they were resurrected by Skateboarders in the 1990s due to their rebellious love for unpopular designs.
The Nike SB Dunk sneakers, a reiteration of the dunk silhouette for Skateboarders, were released in 2002, cementing the relationship between basketball and skateboarding.
The Nike SB Dunks have become one of the most beloved Nike Dunk silhouettes. Check out some of the best 2024 Dunk releases below.
