Dunks Sneakers

The Nike dunk was introduced by Nike in 1985 as a brother shoe to the Nike Terminator, which differed from the dunk by its large logo on the side. It was not until the Dunk shoes reintroduction in 1998 that it became a fashionable show with skaters, sports stars, hipsters, and teenagers. When reintroduced the Dunk began to be released as both low and high top, with the high tops being more expensive. Prices on dunk sneakers range from 65 to 150, unless they are a limited release sneaker. Released in numerous colors, the dunk has turned form a shoe with few color designs for specific colleges and universities, to a shoe that can be found with anyone's favorite colors.

The Dunks shoes were originally designed as a new basketball sneaker, with a high top, good ankle support with strong side paneling to help during quick turns and jumps, and a lower profile sole than Nike's other basketball shoes. These changes caused the shoe to be very lightweight, while still protecting the athlete from injury. The shoes from 1998 until 2000 were sold with arch support and a nylon tongue.

The weight and strength of the shoe made them a popular shoe for skaters the wear; Nike started the SB Dunk line of sneakers, to sell specifically to this crowd. The SB dunk has become very popular with the fashion world also because the SB dunk is sold in limited quantities, and often have a lot of hype surrounding their release which raises the price. SB dunk shoes are occasionally made in c

llaboration with an artists, who designs the colors on the outside.

Because of the high demand many fakes are being made in Asia, which often sell for less than the real sneakers, so be careful when a pair of rare shoes seems like too good of a deal.
