Released in 2007 as part of the Doernbecher Freestyle program, Lance Dillon was given the opportunity to redesign the Dunk Low Premium, while simultaneously undergoing chemotherapy for leukemia. The upper consists primarily of black leather with green suede overlays, and highlights a graffiti-inspired design. The motivational text includes words like ‘fight,’ ‘power’ and ‘warrior.’ A fan favorite, Dillon’s Dunk Low design was rereleased in 2013. 

Originally released in 1985, Nike introduced the Nike Dunk as the premiere basketball sneaker in college basketball. The colorways for the series were based on successful programs around the nation. Kentucky, Michigan, UNLV, Syracuse, St. John’s , Villanova and Iowa all received their own signature shoe. The 1985 Nike ads featured the sneakers with a tagline ‘Be True to Your School’ giving fans an opportunity to support their team from head to toe. 

Since then, Nike Dunks have become one of the most iconic sneaker styles of all time and a blank canvas for design inspiration. Most notably, the style was adopted by the skateboarding community, which has led to some of the most coveted Nikes of all including the Nike Dunk High SB ‘FLOM’, the Nike Dunk Low SB ‘Paris’ and more.
