NIKE DUNK LOW The Nike Dunk Low is the low version of Nike’s ubiquitous Dunk silhouette from 1985. While never a true performance sneaker like its predecessor, the Nike Dunk Low has always been a strong contender in the Retro realm, particularly within the Nike SB line.

Kids sizes and iD creations not withstanding, the Nike Dunk Low has been very quiet compared to its periods of peak activity. It’s been quite a while since we’ve examined a good old pair of ‘CLs’ here on Sneaker News, but it’s clear that the Dunk’s strengths still ring true. This latest colorway is similar to a release we profiled a few months back, in that both utilize black leather uppers and red contrasts. This new style stands out with its bold colorblocking, including a red run up the middle of tongue, laces and lining that makes a standout among the new styles you’ll find available at Finish Line.

NYLON Magazine partnered up with Nike back in 2009, creating a quintet of neon-blasted Dunk Highs build in a complete nylon-fitted upper (fitting). Today, NYLON will unveil its second overall partnership with Nike Sportswear, using Nike iD as the vehicle to launch nine different colorways of the Nike Dunk High designed by notable fashion influencers around the world. In addition to NYLON’s editor-in-chief and four of its editors, notable industry cogs in London, Paris, Japan, and Los Angeles have penned distinct Nike iD designs of the Dunk in both High and Low fashion. Better yet, the nine shoes are set to release directly through Nike iD today, with price-tags of $140 and $150 attached to the Low and High, respectively. We’ve got a preview of two of the final colorways below, with Vashtie rocking the purple high-tops, so take a look and keep an eye on Nike iD for a quickstrike release today.

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.

Not that the Nike Dunk needs a revival of any kind, but it has taken a backseat to the Air Force 1 over the last couple of years. Perhaps Nike Sportswear is taking a slower approach with some Anniversary plans like a Dunk-XXX celebration in 2016, but this 2006 sample gives some insight into some cancelled plans of a brand-new Dunk that might’ve changed the way we looked at this classic basketball shoe. Here’s a look an unreleased sample of the Nike Seamless Dunk, built completely without seams (duh) and fortified with a composite material to make up the classic silhouette of the shoe. Those pieces are also independent of one another, and some areas like the outer toe-box and heel have thicker and deeper ridges for added protection in high-wear zones, so were these intended to be a skate shoe? Check out the gallery of this rare Nike Dunk Low below and because you’ll never find these ever in a store, see the available sample pair from bsvendetta on eBay.

Before patterned prints rose to dominate the sneaker world over the past couple years, Nike Sportswear made fairly extensive use of polka dots on the Dunk family. This activity peaked from 2008-10 and hasn’t been much of a factor as the animals and florals of the world rose to prominence of late, but today we see two new Nike Dunk Low GS designs with a multicolored dot anchor. With red, yellow and two shades of blue colored microdots on black or white leather bases, these manage a skillful balance of eye-catching and fundamental, and you can see more after the jump below.
