Nike Women's Dunk Low GS - Ice Cream

Nike has just released a pair of Dunk Lows, dubbed the Ice Creams, and they were created only in grade school sizes (GS). They are named after the the food, and several different flavors, as opposed to the brand. They feature soft, pastel colors, constructed from patent leather, and are highly noticeable anywhere they go.Nike dunks are famous for their low profile outer soles and lightweight, and Nike Dunk SB s were designed to facilitate specialized basketball moves like blocking and pivoting. Nike chose to sign up 8 Universities and sponsor their basketball teams by providing them with Nike Dunks that matched the color of the team's uniform. It was only when the Nike dunks were reintroduced in 1998 and sported non-uniform colors did the popularity of Nike dunks sky rocket. Interestingly, Nike dunks introduced between 1998 and 2000 featured a nylon tongue and arch supports and are the most unique Nike dunks available till date.

Since its introduction into the NBA the "[a href="http://www.dunkid.com/"]Dunk[/a]" or "Slam Dunk" "Slam" "Jam" and countless other namesakes have been one of the most interesting, and exciting parts of the game. But in recent years the dunks have become stale, prompting many to say the golden age of the dunk has passed. That may not be true, as demonstrated this past weekend in the All-star game the dunk is alive and well. In the early days dunks were a no-no in the NBA. Anyone who left their feet was at risk of finding them knocked from under them when they came back down. But in these days the NBA ways on the ground, near the basket. There was no three points line, and the most shots were taken near the basket. It was a small mans game as the likes of Bob Cousey, and George Yardley ruled the hardwood. By the 1960s the big men had made their presance in the NBA felt. Guys like Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlin could dunk, but it was more of a force then finesse and style. It was not until the late 60s that the modern dunk was invented, and it wasnot invented in the NBA. In 1967 owners in many smaller cities that could not lure an NBA team, formed their own league. The American Basketball Association or ABA as it become called was made up of many players who were said not good enough to be in the NBA. But the ABA introduced no concepts to the game of basketball such as a three points line, and reinvented the [a href="http://www.dunkid.com/products_new.html"]Dunk[/a].
