Nike Dunk Low Retro SP ‘St. John’s’

The Nike Dunk Low Retro SP ‘St. John’s’ celebrates the silhouette’s 35th anniversary with a two-tone color scheme inspired by the original Be True to Your School series from 1985. This pair is essentially a low-top reworking of the Dunk made for the St. John’s University men’s basketball team. The all-leather upper combines a white base with red overlays and a matching red Swoosh. Nike branding hits appear on the woven tongue tag, sockliner and heel tab.

Created for the hardwood but taken to the streets, this ’80s b-ball icon returns with classic details and throwback hoops flair. Supple suede overlays help the Nike Dunk channel vintage style while its padded, low-cut collar lets you take your game anywhere—in comfort. Subtle hints of colour nod to the 40th anniversary of the Pegasus, so you can celebrate sneaker legacy with each step.

Benefits

• The real and synthetic leather upper ages to soft perfection and features durable construction reminiscent of ’80s b-ball.
• Foam midsole offers lightweight, responsive cushioning.
• Low-cut, padded collar looks sleek and feels great.

Nike Dunk

Born from a series of mash-ups, hacks and tight deadlines, the Nike Dunk landed on US college basketball courts during the ’85–’86 season. While the original ‘College Colours’ designs helped fans stay true to their school, the Dunk didn’t prove to be popular. But it was this humble sneaker’s lack of popularity—and flat, grippy soles—that helped it jump the rails to captivate skateboarders. Decades later, this everyday favourite continues to be snatched up in countless colourways, proving its influence is undeniable.
