Nike Dunk High Resale Value Indicating a Gradual Fall

The story of the Nike Dunk is multifaceted. Beyond Michael Jordan’s association, Peter C. Moore, the creator of the Air Jordan 1, also played a pivotal role in the Dunk’s inception. Originating in 1985, the Dunk found inspiration in college colors, initially designed for the NCAA. The “Be True To Your School” campaign introduced seven colorways tailored for top institutions like Kentucky and Michigan.

Georgetown had its unique Nike Terminator. Despite early success, the Dunk faced obscurity with evolving technology, making way for newer models like Air Max 1 and Air Jordan 3. However, a resurgence occurred in 2019, driven by retro colorways and collaborations like Concepts x Nike Dunk High Turdunken. Even in 2022, while reselling subdued from its peak, the Dunk’s legacy continues with trending colorways.
