Dunk (footwear)

The nike dunk was first introduced by Nike, Inc. in 1985. As the Nike Terminator’s "fraternal twin", originally having numerous colors in most sizes (Hi-Top or Low-Top) for various Universities and Colleges. Since its reintroduction in 1998, the nike dunk has transformed from a basic basketball shoe into a subcultural icon and an inspiration for fashion, culture, and art.

The following universities were elected by Nike to be part of the College Colors program:
