RELEASED IN 1985 SHE ALWAYS SEDUCES SO MUCH
At the start of the 1980s, the basketball shoe market was largely dominated by Adidas, thanks to exclusive contracts with legendary players such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Converse, which almost had a monopoly on the market with its All Star Chuck Taylors. It was in 1985 that Nike , initially known for its running models such as the Waffle Trainer and the Cortez , decided to tackle hardwood floors. She uses Peter Moore , footwear designer who designs the Nike Dunk . Its name comes from the spectacular movement where the player makes a jump high enough to tap in order to get the ball into the hoop of the basket without leaving the ball in his hand. The goal? Accompany the players of the greatest university basketball teams. An exclusive contract was then signed between the equipment manufacturer and the following universities: The University of Iowa , Syracuse , St. John , Kentucky , Georgetown , Michigan and UNLV . Seven Nike Dunk High are therefore presented within the Be True To Your School pack. A few years later, the Nike Dunk Low was born.
NEWS: THE NIKE DUNK LOW DISRUPT 2
Unveiled in early 2022, the new iteration of the revamped silhouette reconnects with its retro characteristics: flat sole and fine structure that entirely denote the more prominent version 1. In terms of design, the Swoosh brand innovates since its weight is made up of 20% of recycled materials . It is part of the eco-responsible approach Move To Zero which aims to reduce the carbon footprint as much as possible in the design of Nike models. The new model is presented in February 2022 with the color Malachite inspired by the precious stone used as an ornament for certain palaces and works of art. A Pale Ivory edition will follow the launch of the model and contrasts perfectly with the previous iteration. Other colors are expected in 2022. The Nike Dunk Low Disrupt 2 still has a bright future ahead of it and could become a must-have in your collection!
