A pair of Dunk Highs got the composition notebook treatment, and were decked in black and white. The pack also included a pair of Elmer&#8217;s School Glue-inspired Air Max 90&#8217;s. The third pair, Vandal Highs, represent the Crayola Crayons Box with which we&#8217;re all so familiar, with a green and yellow colorway.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42678\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42678\" style=\"width: 520px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42678\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">History of Nike Back to School Sneakers - Dunk High &quot;Scribble&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42686\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42686\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42686\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">History of Nike Back to School Sneakers - AM90 &quot;Notebook&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42685\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42685\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42685\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">History of Nike Back to School Sneakers - Dunk Low &quot;Notebook&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42687\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42687\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">History of Nike Back to School Sneakers - Vandal High &quot;Notebook&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>2008 brought four more school-inspired Nikes. A pair each of Vandal Highs, Dunk Lows, and Air Max 90&#8217;s got the composition notebook treatment. The fourth, a Dunk High, got the Crayola treatment again, only in a different way. This one looked like a group of kindergarteners attacked an all white shoe with a box of crayons and did a little designing of their own.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42659\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42659\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42659\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">History of Nike Back to School Sneakers - Air Force 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42660\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42660\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42660\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">History of Nike Back to School Sneakers- Air Max Wright<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42658\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42658\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><br \/>\n<figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42658\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">History of Nike Back to School Sneakers - Dunk Mid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42658\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42658\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42658\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">History of Nike Back to School Sneakers - Dunk High  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42661\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42661\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42661\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">History of Nike Back to School Sneakers - Blazer High<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42662\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42662\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42662\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">History of Nike Back to School Sneakers - Big Nike<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The composition notebook design returned again this year, with Nike flipping the design to incorporate colors other than just black and white. A Dunk wears the design in purple and white, while an Air Force 1 is decked out in a red treatment. A third composition design, the Air Max Wright, completes the trifecta, donning a navy blue interpretation. The original yellow and green Crayola design mades a reemergence, this time on a Dunk Hi. The Scantron Blazer marks a breakthrough in the series, as it&#8217;s the first Back To School sneaker Nike to be offered in men&#8217;s sizes. ?Keeping true to the roots of the pack, Nike brought out the Big Nike in the Composition Notebook colorup.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you&#8217;ve already started school, don&#8217;t fret.
