Among the most iconic collaborations of 2017, Japanese fashion house Comme des Gar?ons teamed up with Nike to design the Dunk High Clear. Released in conjunction with New York Fashion Week in February of that year, CDG designer Rei Kawakubo completely revamped the classic Nike dunk. An all-leather upper was swapped for a mix of leather and transparent PVC panels. The Swoosh branding still appears in its usual places, namely on the sides of both uppers and on the tongue. That said, the upper is accented further with CDG lettering on the heel counters.
Originally released in 1985, Nike introduced the Nike Dunk as the premiere basketball sneaker in college basketball. The colorways for the series were based on successful programs around the nation. Kentucky, Michigan, UNLV, Syracuse, St. John?s , Villanova and Iowa all received their own signature shoe. The 1985 Nike ads featured the sneakers with a tagline ?Be True to Your School? giving fans an opportunity to support their team from head to toe.
Since then, Nike Dunks have become one of the most iconic sneaker styles of all time and a blank canvas for design inspiration. Most notably, the style was adopted by the skateboarding community, which has led to some of the most coveted Nikes of all including the Nike Dunk High SB ?FLOM?, the Nike Dunk Low SB ?Paris? and more.
