The Nike Dunk Low was a classic '80s basketball shoe reimagined for skateboarders in the 2000s (as the Nike Dunk SB). The low-profile version of the shoe (mid and high-tops are also available) sits alongside Air Force Ones as Nike's most iconic retro, low silhouettes.
The Dunk Low turned 40 in 2025, and the Swoosh has kept the streetwear staple evergreen with a string of new and reissued colorways, most notably some fresh takes on the classic black-and-white "Panda."
Changes in shoe manufacturing tech mean that retro editions often differ slightly from their OG counterparts. If you put a 2025 Dunk next to one of its '80s cousins, you'd soon notice how sneakers have changed over the years (most notably in materials used). Modern retro shoes are typically only old-school in styling. They're made using modern techniques and materials (for the most part) and generally fit true to size in common with today's sizing standards.
Watch out for model-specific issues with sizing. For example, AJ 5s can be a little tight on wide feet, with some choosing to go half a size up from TTS.
