Nike Dunks History( :

This blog is about the histroy of Nike Dunks && Nike Dunks SB.In 1985 the first Nike Dunks were available to purchase,this is WAY before the Nike Air Jordan 1 was released,so that yes that means the first Retro 1's were modeled after them and also YES they were also released in 1985.They were made in alot of different colorways & or varieties.Nike Dunks first became popular during the 1985 NCAA basketball tournaments when teams like Michigan,Syracuse,Maryland,UNLV,&& Arizona.Finding a color scheme to match your outfit && team colors werent a problem just like now days.Also during the initiate release the shoe came with 2 non-identical sets of laces.Also like i said on the other Nike Air Force One's blog the shoe was removed from the market & brought back in 1998 with way more colors,collaborations,regional release and more.So yes this shoe was also originally a basketball shoe before it was changed into the Nike Dunk SB which stands for skateboarding && alters to the shoe have been made,with changes like the new and improved stuffed tongue for comfort of the foot on the low-tops,but the Dunk SB is more stable to and comfortable to the human foot.Rules used to be that you had to be skateboarding for at least 2 years before Nike SB would sign a contract with you,obviously we see now thats totally different cause alot of places sale them,plus cost you around 50,000 to sell in your store.The most famous Nike Dunks are the "EBay Version"It was inspired by the EBay logo & was tooken pictures of and put on EBay to sell.Little did they know that people would love them...they sold for $30,000 to an anonymous buyer and only made in his/her size.The original pair was cut up into 4 pieces and put on display.Alot of people are in LOVE with Dunks so they will do anything to get there hands on a pair of them...like in 2005 a pair of  Nike SB Pigeon's were released & only about 20 were sold out of the 200 made.For this event about 100 came and camped out for this shoe & were mad when they found out there werent enough of them.Riots broke out && came in full force.The shoe went for about $200-300 now they go for around $1,200 sighh.Once again im here to update you,so you can be informed and keep you fit game fresh.If you have any comments,concerns,or questions hit me up on facebook,twitter,here,or my e-mail.ONE LOVE
