The Nike Dunk is easily one of the most iconic models of sneaker history, tracing its roots all the way back to 1985, when it was first introduced. To celebrate its 30th anniversary,Nike has released a detailed outline of its story, from inception to the legend it has become today.
At the time, basketball had become a cultural phenomenon and sneakers were enjoying tons of off-court popularity, reaching as far as the fashion world. The first iteration was sketched by Peter Moore and was called the “College Color High”. It was an artistic mash-up of different silhouettes, taking cues from the Air Force 1, which had released three years prior.
