Nike Dunk High 85 "Blue Denim" DQ8799-101

There is truly nothing like the original. Dunk Highs from 2020 are not exactly as we know them. Back in 1985 when they first came out, the shoe looked completely different! Nike brings back the OG cut of the Nike Dunk High with the ’85 version. This Nike Dunk High 85 “Blue Denim” joins the handful of Dunk High ’85 colourways we’ve seen in the past year. Denim and Blue always work well together!

Apart from Dunk Lows, the Dunk Highs are the next most popular Dunks. But fans who missed out on the real Dunk High version can now also set their eyes on the Dunk High 85. What we’re only missing now is the Dunk Mid, which is also expected to release in 2023!

The Nike Dunk is now a household name among the new generation of sneaker culture thanks to the dynamic trend. But before it became everyone’s favourite casual shoe, the Dunk was a performance basketball shoe. Meant for collegiate basketball, the Nike Dunk made noise in the NCAA with the brand’s Be True to Your School campaign.

Decades later, the Nike Dunk saw a resurgence in popularity thanks to various collabs, as well as the return of the most beloved colourways.

The Nike Dunk High 85 “Blue Denim” brings back the OG High version of the Dunk, featuring a higher ankle collar. Grey leather makes up the base of the shoe, while Light Blue denim comprises the overlays.

A Sail White midsole sticks to the consistent vintage vibe brought about by this rendition. The Grey outsole finishes things off for a clean and simple approach.

Keep an eye out for this pair this November 2022 on Nike.
