From backboards to skateboards, the influence of the Nike Dunk is undeniable. Although introduced as a basketball shoe in 1985, its flat and grippy soles were perfect for a neglected sports community—skaters. Uncovering a subculture craving creativity as much as function, the Dunk released decades of countless colourways that continue to capture the soul of skaters from coast to coast.

Recognising the Dunk's roots as the top-ranking university-team sneaker, the Be True To Your School Pack looks to the original ad campaign for inspiration. Colours represent top-flight universities, while crisp leather has the perfect amount of sheen to make 'em a hands-down win. So lace up and show off that varsity spirit. Are you game?

• Colours let you rep your favourite university teams.
• Leather upper ages to soft perfection.
• Foam midsole offers lightweight, responsive cushioning.
• Padded, low-cut collar looks sleek and feels great.
• Rubber outsole with classic hoops pivot circle adds durable traction and heritage style.
