Looking to celebrate its 30th anniversary the Nike Dunk High ‘College Colors’ are on their way back. It always strikes me as weird that a sneaker older than me (not by much) can come back years later and still be just as relevant in a sense. Maybe that’s just me that thinks this way, I mean we see it with Air Jordans all the time. Anyway the folks at Nike decided to issue official pictures as well as a brief history lesson on the significance of this release, read up and make sure you look to get a pair this Friday.
Designed to tap into school spirit, Nike pioneered the College Colors Program in 1985. Released to the public soon after in 1986, the collection featured footwear with matching apparel that allowed fans of all ages to identify with their favorite teams. The unique platform helped introduce the Nike Dunk to the world of basketball and beyond. While the debut collection featured colors for schools specifically chosen for the program, the simple combos were created to be adopted by multiple teams from the college level down to high school. Now returning in true form with a traditional leather build and classic Nike Air cushioning, the retro release kicks off the 30th anniversary celebration of the College Colors Program by Nike.
