Nike SB Dunk Low “What the Dunk”
Model: Nike SB Dunk Low “What The Dunk”
Style Code: 318403-141
Released: 2007
The original “What The” Nike had nothing to do with basketball. Originating on a Nike SB Dunk Low, the colorful collection was created on a classic. As one of the Swoosh’s most remixed models, the Dunk Low has played the canvas for countless revamps and renditions. In 2007 the “What The Dunks” mashed up many of the model’s most popular designs, and the offbeat trend was born.
