Department of Nike Archives "Be true to your school." It was the 1985-'86 college basketball season, and Nike had the idea of putting sets of warmups and shoes together in top collegiate teams' colors. Thus, the Dunk and the College Colors Program were born.

From the side profile, fake Dunks lay completely flat on the ground, while real Dunks lift upward (near the tip of the shoe). The circular perforations on the toe box are more shallow and inconsistent on fakes, while real Dunks feature deep and evenly spaced perforations throughout the toe box.

Apart from the OG sneakerheads, not many know the fact that the SB in Nike SB actually stood for Sandy Bodecker, and not skateboarding as many would have been led to believe. The man who created a whole new division from a shoe that was initially meant for basketball, has left us today, aged 66.

SIZING: Dunks come in unisex sizing.
