Your favorite Nike shoes are getting older and older. There’s no way around father time, and with the Air Force 1 turning 40 years old this year, it really puts things into perspective. Perhaps as a gentle history lesson for the younger generation, Nike is stamping its classics with its respective year of distribution with a retro-style font on the tongue label; you’ve already seen it in the Air Pegasus and Air Max 95, but it’s not time for the Dunk to join the mix.
Seen here via official images is a Dunk High in a Phantom grey and a Stadium Green overlay with a full leather construction. The year “85” is proudly displayed atop the tongue, while a double-Swoosh treatment sees the Stadium Green check layered above black. Gentle specks appear embedded in the midsole and outsole for a grainy look.
This Nike Dunk High is coming soon to Nike.com; see the official images ahead and stay tuned for a release.
