Before its sole ever touched a skate deck, the Dunk made its mark on the hardwood as a basketball shoe—but the style was eventually adopted by skateboarders for its durability and responsive boardfeel. In 2002, the silhouette was reengineered to meet the needs of this new audience, including a Zoom Air unit in the heel and a padded tongue for maximum comfort. This edition covers the design in Court Purple with contrasting shades of white and black.
