Nike Women’s Dunk High (Valentine’s Edition)

Originally released in 1985, the Nike Dunk was introduced as a technical basketball sneaker. They were designed with “paneling” and a lower profile enabling you to have more control during basketball moves. But, what really made the Nike Dunk was their variation of colors specifically designed to match college team uniforms. After a period of cease production on the Nike Dunk, they were re-released in 1998 and now have become an icon available in every colorway imaginable.

Air Jordan 6 (VI) Retro

The Air Jordan VI (6) will always be remembered as the sneaker that Michael wore while winning his first NBA Championship. They were designed by the legendary Tinker Hatfield, and feature many fresh design elements. Some of these include the rubber tongue with two finger holes, a “spoiler” on the heel, a reinforced toe, and a clear rubber sole. The Air Jordan VI has always been a favorite among Jordanheads, and it’s nice to see them back in action.

The Big Nike High debuted in 80’s and has not scene the light of day since. At first glance you’ll notice that the design is a mash up of the Dunk and the Terminator. This combination makes for an appealing classic sneaker model. The Dunk is represented nicely with the midsole, and the heel area features “NIKE” printed in capital letters similar to the Terminator. Although it has never had the popularity of other classic Nike models, the Big Nike High can definitely holds its own.

Nike has updated another basketball classic with the Nike Auto Flight and converted them into a fashion friendly lifestyle sneaker. They simply took the Nike Air Flight Lite (the basketball sneaker Scottie Pippen made popular) and traded in the athletic basketball midsole for a vulcanized rubber midsole. Now, the sneaker that was only rocked on the court can be rocked to the club.

Back to basics. Now popular with skaters, basketball players, and the fashionable alike, the first ever production of the Nike Dunk shoe was in 1985. Before the Nike Air Jordan I, the Nike Dunk, which later influenced the Jordan I, was the team basketball shoe of choice. It was available in high and low versions in a variety of team colorways to match an uniform, and it came with a matching box and two sets of different color laces. The original Dunk is a highly sought-after collectors item and due to consumer demand, the Nike Dunk line was reissued in 1998 and numerous colorways have been made available on a regular basis since then. Nike released the skate Dunk in 1999 featuring a padded tongue and ankle collar. In 2002, they collaborated withe the Supreme Skate brand to produce the Supreme Dunks, and in 2004, Nike released the new, never-before-seen Nike Dunk Mid. Other special and limited editions include holiday models for Valentine’s Day and Christmas, Laser Dunks that feature laser-engraved artwork, Harris Tweed Dunks with famous British tweed fabric, and The Inside Out Dunks. Technologically, the Nike Dunk line of shoes has the most basic of technologies, but its simplicity and wide variety of colors leaves this line of 80’s retro basketball shoes compatible with many styles and make them perfect for casual wear.

When the Big Nike was originally released it was never available in a low model, but now it is. Looking like a cross between the Nike Terminator and the Nike Dunk, the Big Nike Low has stepped back onto the scene. They sport a classic silhouette, clean design, and a large “NIKE” script on the back heel. The Big Nike Low is versatile and comfortable, it’s hard to believe Nike didn’t release them the first time around.
