The first issue of Nike Dunk consisted of 8 collections, each of which corresponded to the coloring of the uniform of the sports team of a particular college. This turned out to be an excellent advertising move to promote the model on the market.

And since the Nike Dunk sneakers were very comfortable and fashionable, the culture of the “dunks” quickly spread.
