WMNS Dunk High “First Use – University Gold”

The Women’s Nike Dunk High ‘First Use – University Gold’ is a women’s-exclusive colorway of the retro basketball shoe that pays tribute to Nike’s iconic Swoosh logo with special iconography. From Nike’s ‘First Use’ campaign, the ‘First Use – University Gold’ design is complete with an almost-monochromatic yellow upper. Specifically, University Gold leather appears on the perforated toe, mid-panel, collar, and heel. A slightly darker shade of the same hue can be found on the suede overlays. An outline Swoosh in white appears above the slogan ‘First use, June 18, 1971’ on the lateral side. A solid white leather Swoosh is located on the medial side. Nike places classic branding on the white nylon tongue tag. Two sets of laces, both in a light and dark shade of University Gold, appear on the tongue. The layered look is reminiscent of the ‘double’ aesthetic popularized by Sacai and Nike’s many collaborations. Release date: July 8, 2021
