Recent years have seen the original Nike Dunk ‘Be True’ slogan evolve from ‘…to Your School’ as in the Original 7 to more of a statement on the authenticity of the iconic series. These latest ‘Be True’ Nike Dunk iD samples aren’t exact replicas of those pioneering universities, but instead the rarely iD’d Lows in that old school BTTYS two-toned blocking pattern and Highs that reflect one of the more popular modern blocking templates. Let us know which of these samples from Tokyo’s Nike Harajuku you like best after seeing them all below and stick with Sneaker News for the latest NIKEiD options.

It was just yesterday we learned of the deconstructed Dunk arriving on Nike’s online customization program, and today we have new sample styles to inspect. The Nike Dunk Deconstruct Premium iD comes in both Low and High heights, all of which have been outfitted with LunarLon-cushioned vulcanized soles and Blazer-like fat belly Swooshes. They’re available in a mix of buttery smooth leather and/or extra-nappy suede, the latter of which really emphasizes the ‘raw’ nature of these sleek unlined styles.

The newest addition to the NIKEiD lineup available for online customization is a stripped-down casual take on one of Nike Sportswear’s pillars that unites a classic design with cutting edge LunarLon cushioning. The Nike Dunk Deconstruct Premium iD brings NL’d Highs and Lows to the Swoosh’s online customization platform where you can choose from a variety of conservative leather and suede shades. These Premium Dunk Decons come with autoclaved soles as have many Dunk releases over the past few years, but these are different than all but the 6.0 action sports releases with their neon footbeds signifying the comfort of Lunar foam. They just launched today so have a look at a few sample designs before you head over to NIKEiD to craft your own.

The ‘Original 7′ Nike Dunks forever linked Arizona, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, St. Johns, UNLV and Villanova with the expression ‘Be True to Your School’. No longer just a lesser single from The Beach Boys, ‘Be True’ stood for a certain style of two-toned colorblocking that’s been the Dunk’s default for over a quarter-century. And when that style collides with NIKEiD, not only can you pick whichever colors you want to use, but you can also define your own ‘school spirit’ with a new blocking pattern of your choice. The Nike Dunk ‘Be True’ iD features options ranging from classic BTTYS-style varsity colors all the way to glossy metallics and all of them can be personalized with heel detailing. Check out some samples below and let us know which palette you chose to build your ‘Be True’ Dunk iDs.
