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 sport community—skaters. Uncovering a subculture craving creativity as much as function, the Dunk released decades of countless colourways that continue to capture the soul of skaters from coast to coast. The '80s b-ball icon returns with classic details and throwback hoops flair. Channelling vintage style back onto the streets, its padded collar and extra-puffy silhouette let you take your game anywhere—in comfort. Leather in the upper softens and gains vintage character with wear. Foam midsole offers lightweight, responsive cushioning. A rubber outsole with hoops pivot circle adds durable traction. Padded, low-cut collar looks sleek and feels great.
