What does Nike dunk mean?

Nike dunk originally referred to a basketball shoe from Nike, and later evolved into a skateboard shoe. The original intention of Nike Dunk is actually a pair of basketball shoes that stick to the ground well. Although the design of Dunk is simple, it is definitely a cross-century shoe. The current dunk has made some changes in design and appearance, and is loved by many people.

In terms of technical content, people often think that the Dunk without air cushion is the most original one. But the correct sequence is that in 1983, NIKE launched Air Force 1, the first pair of air-cushioned shoes to defeat its old rival Converse, which gave them a huge victory in the market and their stocks continued to rise. But in 1985, adidas made a comeback, the sports product market changed drastically, and Nike faced the most serious sales crisis in its history. At this time, in order to reverse the adverse trend, Nike made a move that later affected the world. It spent a huge amount of money to sign the then super rookie Michael Jordan, using Air Force One as the prototype. Designed his first signature shoe, Air Jordan One (Jordan generation).

Soon all the top school teams strongly requested to have their own team shoes, which is why Dunk appeared later. When Dunk was released, there were 8 completely different colors, representing the eight top NCAA (college league) teams including "University of North Carolina", "University of Arizona" and "University of Arkansas".

In fact, in terms of design, Dunk is based on the Air Jordan 1 generation, so it has excellent grip performance and court feel, ensuring that those outstanding players can move lightly and stably on the court. So the performance is impeccable. So it is definitely no accident that DUNK became popular in the 1980s.
