Nike Dunk High '85 Blue Denim

Like the Nike Dunk Low, the Dunk High was originally designed as a basketball shoe and first hit the market in 1985. Both models were part of the same wave of basketball designs that included the Air Jordan. The main difference is the height of the shoe. The Dunk High has a higher cut, which means it covers the entire ankle. This feature provides better ankle support and can give the impression of sturdiness. The original release of the Dunk High was also aimed at supporting basketball players, although they later became popular not only on the court, but also on the skateboard ramps and in the world of streetwear.
