In 2005, Nike SB paid homage to the 20th anniversary of the Nike Dunk by releasing the seven original colorways from the Be True To Your School series. The SB rendition featured a suede upper rather than the original leather, and each pair was accompanied with a special-edition hangtag. As part of the series, the Nike SB Dunk High Pro “Kentucky” pays homage to the Kentucky Wildcats with its two-tone colorway in blue and white. The upper consists of a white leather with blue suede overlays and Swoosh. The pair sits atop a white midsole and blue outsole.
The Nike Dunk, designed in the 1980s and intended for basketball, was eventually repurposed for skateboarding. The popular model would be reworked in the early 2000s with upgrades for the skateboarding community, leading to the formal debut of the Nike SB brand. The man behind it, former Nike executive Sandy Bodecker, is credited with building one of Nike?s most beloved subdivisions with the Nike SB line.
