Originally a Basketball shoe the Dunk found homes in Skateboarding, art, and culture becoming one the most coveted models. This week Nike teased fans worldwide with \u201cThe Story of Dunk\u201d, a feature on the SNKRS app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1985, the Swoosh was in a very unique position with all four teams in the NCAA Final Four being Nike schools. The \u201cBe True To Your School\u201d campaign was subsequently born and seen a revitalization this year with the release of many iconic Dunks. Dropping in lows &amp; highs, featured colorways were worn by NBA stars such as Chris Mullin &amp; Patrick Ewing in 1985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nike exploded onto the scene when the Dunk released making them a sleeping giant in terms of its recognition. A combination of the Jordan 1, the Legend &amp; the Terminator, it was poised to become the perfect basketball shoe. Coincidentally, the conditions for skating shoes were similar, and considering the expressive color blocking it\u2019s no surprise that it resonated across different cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Nike\u2019s most iconic families, the Dunk has surpassed the realms of basketball and has become a cultural icon. Over 35 years they have featured hundreds of iconic colorways that didn\u2019t get the recognition they deserved until recent years. Skateboarding culture grew alongside the Dunk, both hailed for their underground yet highly curated nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Episode 2: \u201cPro B to SB\u201d is next up, so keep checking back in with Snkrs Day for updates on The Story of Dunk &amp; the latest from Nike SNKRS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2023\/12\/404-dead-image.jpg'\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-0.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"945715\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/?attachment_id=945715\" class=\"wp-image-945715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-0.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-0-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-0-325x217.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-0-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-0-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2023\/12\/404-dead-image.jpg'\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"945717\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-1-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/?attachment_id=945717\" class=\"wp-image-945717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-1-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-1-1-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-1-1-325x217.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/files\/2020\/10\/Nike-The-Story-of-Dunk-release-date-1-1-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, Nike released Episode 1 of 5 of the series, \u201cOrigins\u201d, delving deep to educate fans about the Dunk\u2019s&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":328343,"featured_media":945715,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,1224791,1256656],"tags":[1225516,1256988,1256987],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nike Drops The Story of Dunk Episode 1: &quot;Origins&quot; | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Nike Dunk shoes.
