In 1985, Nike introduced the Nike Dunk as a top-tier basketball sneaker for college basketball. The series took inspiration from renowned college basketball programs like Kentucky, Michigan, UNLV, Syracuse, St. John’s, Villanova, and Iowa, creating distinct signature shoes for each of them.

In 1985, Nike’s ads featured the sneakers with the tagline “Be True to Your School,” enabling fans to show their team loyalty. In 2024, Nike plans to release a special edition Dunk Low Vintage in the iconic “Michigan” color scheme, honoring the University of Michigan’s team colors.

The Nike Dunk Low “Vintage” edition lives up to its name with a worn look, including distressed leather ankle collars and aged midsoles. It features a black leather base with navy overlays and laces, highlighted by bright yellow accents on the Swoosh logos, tongue, heel branding, and insoles. The design is further complemented by black mesh tongues and inner lining, and it sits on a black rubber outsole.
