In 1985, culture and sport crossed genres with an intensity never before witnessed and a new age of pioneers were born. In their wake, a storm of self-expression.
Eight chosen teams, The Dunk 8, forever changed the level of fanaticism and loyalty one could have. The Dunk 8 now had fans supporting them from head to toe in literal terms.
Twenty-two years have passed since the introduction of the Nike Dunk. To many it is a basketball shoe, to others it is a skate shoe, and to some it is a vintage shoe. But to the history of sneakers it is a legend and an icon that lives on today around the globe.
Nike is re-releasing the Vintage Be True Dunk 8 as well as a Vintage Terminator over the next month. Every few days a new shoe is released at Tier Zero locations around the globe. Release dates of each shoe is listed after the jump with corresponding retro logo from ’85 when these kicks first released. Consider this a release date reminder as the Michigan Dunks release tomorrow, Saturday, January 5th.
