Nike Dunk Born from a series of mash-ups, hacks and tight deadlines, the Nike Dunk landed on college basketball courts during the '85–'86 season. While the original College Colors designs helped you stay true to your school, the Dunk didn't prove to be popular.

Decades later, this everyday favorite continues to be snatched up in countless colorways, proving its influence is undeniable.
