Nike

The evolution of the Nike Dunk has made the style one of Nike’s most important designs in the brand’s history. Originally released in 1985 as a basketball shoe, Nike has adapted the model to meet the demands of its entire audience.

Before the formal creation of Nike SB, the sneaker brand catered to the skating community by updating the beloved Dunk Low in the 1990s. By adding nylon to the tongue of the shoe, Nike improved the fit for skaters. As demand for this “new” Dunk surged, Nike doubled down on their success by releasing the 2001 Dunk Pro B. These were the first Dunks to feature extra padding in the tongue and elastic straps to boost performance and fit. 

The Nike Dunk Low Pro B ‘White 3M’ features a unique take on the silhouette, and comes in a white and charcoal colored upper. The application of the 3M finish on the outer panels of the upper makes the shoes reflective when reacting with light. A Nike Dunk High silhouette was also released using the 3M finish, however the High featured a contrasting black leather rather than white.
