The shoe was offered in various colorways that go with the school colors of these colleges in the United States. As a basketball companion, the original Nike Dunk has the reputation of being the inspiration behind the classic basketball shoe Air Jordan I. 

In the early 2000s, the Nike Dunk was then adopted by Nike SB. Since then, the shoe became one of the most well-known sneakers among many skateboard aficionados. Also, Nike Dunk High was able to broaden its fan base not only in the United States but were also able to extend its market reach all over the world. It has become a household name for both fashion-conscious wearers and folks who love to kick and flip the board. The "Be True To Your School Pack"  became the most popular Nike Dunk High release.
