A Top 10 Nike Dunk Low colorways

The Nike Dunk Low is currently without question on of the most popular models in the sneaker community. By far, the black and white Panda colorway is the most well-known and sought-after in recent years. However, there are many other colorways that also deserve a place in your trainer rotation.

Check out a top 10 popular Nike Dunk Low's here.

Short look into the history - Nike Dunk Low

The story of the Dunk begins in 1985, about 38 years ago. Nike designer Peter Moore designed the Dunk High as a basketball trainer. The Dunk was inspired by previous successful silhouettes from Nike. Among others, you can find elements of the Air Force 1, the Terminator and the Air Jordan 1 in Peter Moore's successful basketball design.

The Dunk silhouette was slowly overshadowed by the success of the Air Jordan 1, however, the original basketball trainer was picked up in an unexpected market, the skate community.

It was not until the early 2000s, when legendary Sandy Bodecker, was appointed as the new head of Nike Skateboarding, that the great success of the Nike Dunk SB series came. Curious about all the information surrounding the SB Dunk? Read here: The ultimate Nike SB Dunk FAQ

In the late years of the 2010 decade, the Dunk and mainly Low execution began to gain popularity from the general public and also saw a lot of famous collaborations with names like Travis Scott or Virgil Abloh.

Read on to find out which colorways are currently amongst the must haves!

Nike Dunk Low 'Chicago Split'

The Chicago colorway is best known on the Air Jordan 1 model. However, the colorway also appeared on other silhouettes, such as on this Dunk Low. Nike Dunk Low 'Chicago Split' gives an additional distinctive twist to the original colorway, thus, as the name suggests, features split details.

The split nature of the trainer is reflected in the black and white swoosh and outsole. It also uses different kinds of Nike branding.
