Cultural Impact & History
First introduced during the 1985-86 college basketball season as part of the "Be True to Your School" program, the original Dunk helped university teams unify their kit. Because of its flat, grippy sole, it was quickly adopted by the late-90s skateboarding community. Decades later, the classic White/Black colorway resurged to become the single most popular, versatile, and mass-adopted colorway on the global streetwear and sneaker market.
To maintain the pristine look of the White/Black Dunk Low, standard maintenance includes dry brushing off dirt after use. Because it features a leather upper, it is highly recommended to wipe it with a damp cloth for deeper cleaning.
