Another weekend, another side quest for a BLT-worthy heirloom tomato. Matcha in hand, you weave through the farmer’s market stalls, dodging a gauntlet of cheese samples and strollers on a single-minded prowl for the perfect summer peach.
At least the cool ‘Platinum Violet’ and earthy ‘Cave Stone’ on your Nike Dunks that you just scooped up for $75.97 on Nike.com look appropriately organic, even if your commitment to composting is… aspirational. You’ll get to it. Someday.
Funny enough, this shoe started life on the ’85 basketball court, where it was met with a collective shrug. It turns out the Dunk’s flat, grippy sole wasn’t a slam dunk for ballers, but it was perfect for skateboarders. One sport’s awkward benchwarmer became another’s MVP.
Decades on, that same durable leather and suede construction holds up, whether you’re landing a kickflip or just dodging a puddle of spilled oat milk. With plush padding and lightweight cushioning, this is the kind of timeless style and all-day comfort that rarely gets a price cut.
It’s a classic that went from the court to the curb and somehow ended up cooler for it. Consider this your chance to own that history.
Grab your pair on Nike.com for just $75.97 ($49 off) before they’re gone.
