The Nike Dunk Low "Kentucky" and "Syracuse" Are Returning Soon

By now we’ve probably seen the Dunk appear in every colour scheme under the sun, but as with all heritage sneaker styles, some colourways are more iconic than others. To understand why, you have to dip into the silhouette’s history, as it was originally designed as a basketball sneaker. The Swoosh’s legendary Be True to Your School pack first surfaced in 1985, and in 2020 we saw two Dunks arrive in colour palettes based on the University of Kentucky and Syracuse University. Both colours reached insane prices on the resale market, but once again Nike is here to answer the prayers of Dunk fans everywhere, as both colourways are set to restock very soon.

Both the “Kentucky” and “Syracuse” colourways take on the classic two-tone leather Dunk build, with a white base giving way to overlays and Swooshes in either bright orange or bold blue. The stitched sole unit also takes on a two-tone look, with the accent colour appearing on the rubber outsole. Finally, coloured laces round off the pairs’ themes.

The pairs are rumoured to return on the 1st of November, but be sure to keep it locked for more info and hit the release reminders for your best chance of copping as soon as they hit the shelves. In the meantime, everyone’s favourite “Panda” colourway is returning with a twist.
