There goes one of the non-collab Nike Dunk must-buys of the year. The Nike Dunk Low Retro “Dark Marina Blue” combines two tones of Blue for a refreshing new take on the classic Dunk model. It’s got that crisp premium leather base too which just makes us appreciate the quality even more.
The Dunk Mania never stopped rising ever since its sudden emergence in popularity a few years back. Collabs with various brands helped bring the Nike Dunk back on its former glory, and we’re definitely thankful for that! It’s now the sneaker subject of both sneakerheads and non-sneakerheads alike; there’s just something really special about Nike hoops shoes from the 80s. Just ask the Nike Air Force 1 and the Air Jordan 1.
Originally introduced in 1985, the Nike Dunk first took on the name “College Colour High”. It eventually adopted the “Dunk” label as an ode to the 40th anniversary of the first-ever slam dunk in the game of basketball. Nevertheless, the Nike Dunk was the choice of many, specifically college basketball teams.
Arriving in both high and low versions, the Nike Dunk features an all-leather upper. With multiple perforations on the vamp, and Swoosh on the sides. The rubber outsole boasts a similar traction pattern as the Air Jordan 1 – with only a few tweaks setting them apart.
Outside basketball, the Dunk became popular in streetwear and lifestyle cultures.
This Nike Dunk Low Retro “Dark Marina Blue” lands in 2022 looking to become another must-cop pair. The lighter shade of blue adorns the crisp leather base, while darker hues make up the rest of the overlays. Swooshes, laces, Nike labels, and rubber midsole come in white for an ice-cold finish.
Joining the Air Jordan 1 “Dark Marina Blue” this year, stay tuned for an official release in early February 2022.
