Nike Dunk High Retro "Lakers" DD1399-500

The Dunk may be the primary basketball option of collegiate hoopers from the 80s, but this colourway highlights the NBA! The Nike Dunk High Retro “Lakers” rocks the iconic Purple and Gold as a tribute to the Los Angeles Lakers. This pair can also be a great tribute for LSU Tigers fans or any other sports teams with Purple and Gold! It’s also similar to the women’s exclusive Lisa Leslie Dunk Lows but without the Teal Swoosh.

Both the High and Low versions of the Nike Dunk remain remarkably active in terms of releases. One day it’s a restock, the next day there’s a new colourway on the horizon. The Dunk wave hasn’t stopped since returning to mainstream sneaker culture in late 2019, and it’s not stopping anytime soon!

The Nike Dunk originally came out in 1985 as a basketball sneaker. It caught a lot of attention thanks to Nike’s “Be True To Your School” campaign where college teams rocked Nike Dunks in their school colours. Since then, the Nike Dunk became a popular piece of basketball history; but it transcended beyond that thanks to skateboarders.

It’s evident that Dunks remain relevant after all these years, with limited colourways worth double their retail price.

This Nike Dunk High Retro “Lakers” sticks to the signature two-tone makeover found on most Nike Dunks. It features a University Gold leather base with Court Purple overlays and Swooshes. Yellow laces and Purple outsoles finish off the clean and classic design of the shoe.

Expect this pair to come out this September 2022 on the Nike UK website. Stay tuned for more Nike Dunk drops as we approach the final months of 2022!
