The Nike Company is a major sportswear supplier headquartered in of the state of Oregon. This Fortune 500 company was founded in 1964 and employs over 30,000 people across the world. One of the most popular shoes manufactured by Nike is the Nike Dunk. This shoe, first produced in 1985, is geared towards skaters and basketball players. Back in 1985, the Nike Dunk was the choice shoe for many basketball teams because of its light weight and comfort fit. The Dunk also offers a sole that is smaller in height than other basketball shoes, keeping the player lower to the ground for added performance. This shoe actually helped to promote the College Colors program started by the Nike Company. The company signed eight college basketball teams and their coaches to a contract, and in turn produced Dunks for each team member that matched the color of the team’s uniforms. Some of the college that became involved in the College Colors program included Syracuse University, the University of Maryland, and the University of Michigan. The original Dunk is a very valuable and sought-after item for shoe collectors.

Due to increasing demand, the Nike Dunk line was reissued in 1998. This retro shoe is available in both a high top and a low top version and comes in many color combinations. These also come with two different set of shoelaces in colors that correspond to the color scheme of the shoe. Over the years, the Dunk has evolved dramatically, and is available in many different varieties, including the Supreme Dunks, Nike Dunk Mid, Laser Dunks, Inside Out Dunks, Harris Tweed Dunks, and popular holiday versions, which include Valentine’s Day and Christmas varieties.

These days, the Nike Dunk shoes are especially popular with skateboarders. The Nike Company has commissioned many famous athletes, street artists, designers, and companies to create unique designs that are released in limited edition Dunk models. These limited edition versions are very popular, especially with show collectors. People have been know to wait for days and pay very expensive prices just to own a pair of these coveted shoes.

Nike Dunk shoes can be purchased both online and in many stores. Most pairs can be purchased for less than one hundred dollars, and they can be found in numerous color combinations, and with many different designs. These 80s retro shoes are still popular with many basketball players, and many people wear them simply because they like the look and feel, not to mention the ability to match them to almost any clothing ensemble.
