Nike Dunk: Born from a series of mash-ups, hacks and tight deadlines, the Nike Dunk landed on university basketball courts during the '85–'86 season. While the original 'College Colours' designs helped you stay true to your 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.
