Description: 

The Nike Dunk High ‘UNLV’ is a classic basketball sneaker that was originally released in 1985 as part of Nike’s College Colours Program. The shoe is named after the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and features the school’s team colours. The Nike Dunk was first introduced in 1985 as a basketball shoe, and it quickly gained popularity among college basketball players due to its excellent performance on the court. The Dunk’s design was inspired by the iconic Air Jordan 1, which was also released around the same time. The Dunk High ‘UNLV’ features a combination of premium leather and suede on the upper, with a colour scheme that mirrors UNLV’s team colours—red and grey. The red leather overlays are complemented by grey suede on the toe box, side panels, and heel. The classic Swoosh logo on the sides is in red, matching the overall col-our scheme. The Dunk High ‘UNLV’ gained recognition not only for its association with UNLV but also for its stylish design and its place in sneaker history as one of the original Dunk colour-ways. The shoe’s popularity continued to grow over the years, particularly among sneaker enthusiasts and collectors. 

Condition:

Slightly worn, still in very good condition. Slight dirt on the outer swoosh of the right shoe. Both shoes have noticeable glue residue on mid/outsoles that develops over time, as expected due to age of shoe. Padding of inner soles shows signs of wear.
