The Nike Dunk was first introduced in 1985 under the name 'College Color High' as a tribute to the team colors that it was inspired by. This allowed athletes to coordinate their footwear with their uniforms. In 2005, the Nike Dunk Low was introduced, showcasing a strong and woven construction in the Ironstone, Bubblegum, and Sail shades from the Swoosh brand. It is designed with a cupsole configuration that offers additional support, complemented by a rubber tread to ensure traction.
