The Nike Dunk, a hybrid shoe that took inspiration from past models, gained popularity in college campuses due to its wide range of color variations, which were inspired by different basketball team uniforms. In 1999, the Dunk High LE sneaker was released, enhancing the retro shoe with a modern touch. This leather shoe maintains its connection to the collegiate world, as it boasts a striking Royal Blue and white colorway that pays homage to the renowned Kentucky Wildcats basketball team.
