Fashion: Nike Dunk - Then and Now.

THE EARLY YEARS: The Nike Dunk's origins trace

back to 1985, when the shoe was brought in to be the Nike Terminator's twin brother. Apparently Nike had no idea what they were getting themselves into. Quickly, the Dunk became regarding as a Number One basketball shoe amongst NCAA teams. This affiliation was called "The College Colors Program," with representation from teams such as St. John's University, Syracuse University, Villanova University, The University of Iowa, The University of Kentucky, The University of Michigan and The University of Las Vegas, Nevada. The Nike Dunk slowly faded after that.

THE REBIRTH: In the year 1998, Nike decided

it would be a good plan to rerelease the Dunk in a second effort and the first batch was University Colors, but they quickly branched off into different color variations. In the 2000's the Dunk switched to it's patent Nylon tongue with a arch supports that go over your toe line.

When the dunk was reintroduced to the world, Nike had a quickly growing profit because a lot of Teenage - Early Twenties wanted something "Old School" and Nike soared to the top with one of the most popular, if not the most popular shoe in the world.

With the strong support of the body and thick sole, Skateboarders quickly became infatuated with the Nike Dunk and the Nike SB line was born. It is an altered dunk, with a thicker sole to keep up with the everyday life of skateboarders worldwide and hypebeasts that want to look dope. (Pictured Below)

Because of the growing population of Dunkies, there are now custom Nike Dunk Hi's that can run you anywhere from $1,000 - $5,000, including the Nike Dunk Hi Dinosaur JR.'s (Pictured Below.)
