Here is why 2020 is the year of the Nike Dunk From pastel colorways to the icons of the 80s, all the curiosities about this timeless silhouette

The Nike Dunk is no doubt the winner of this year's Best Sneaker title.

This is confirmed by the various collaborations, re-editions and the great attention on the shoe that has been created above all on social media. It seems almost impossible, in fact, to think of browsing the Instagram feed in these months without seeing some Nike Dunks appear.

On the one hand, the great return of the silhouette designed in 1985 had long been announced, but within the sneaker community some doubts remained about how large the scale of the phenomenon could be. A huge contribute to the "Dunk invasion" certainly is thanks to Travis Scott's passion - captured on several occasions wearing some great classic pairs in the history of Nike Dunk and Nike SB - and the collaboration between Nike and Off-White that sees the silhouette as a key protagonist.

Accounts like @sneakerdenn shows more or less known models of the past, opening the doors to the vintage and second hand market.

Given the interest generated for these pastel shades, despite a dense release calendar that sees the Nike Dunk as protagonists, it seems - according to @py_rates_- that Nike will release a whole pack of Dunk Low for the female audience in 2021.

Nike Dunk Sky Hi

However, this will not be the first time that Dunk addresses the female audience. Between 2013 and 2014 in fact, the Nike Dunk Sky Hi became the object of desire of many girls.

The strange Dunk that hid an unusual wedge inside, represented the compromise shoe for all women who in the morning could not choose between wearing heels or sneakers. Its ambiguous charm also conquered many celebrities and was part of the dark trend of Wedge Sneakers made popular also by designers such as Isabel Marant and Marc Jacobs.
