How we estimate times · sources and method

Editorial assessment of the first illustrated arrangement: A basketball figure with a ball rises beside a backboard and large Nike details.

Beyond the set

The stories, places and inventions behind your build.

University colours

Nike’s 1985 College Colors programme linked shoes, clothing and bags to college-team palettes.

Read the full story

Nike’s 1985 College Colors programme coordinated footwear, apparel and bags in university palettes. Fans could express allegiance away from the basketball court, sharing a visual identifier with players, students and other team supporters.

Nike

Be True to Your School

Dunk became the campaign’s focus, turning a basketball shoe into a sign of fan allegiance.

Read the full story

The programme’s central basketball shoe was first called College Color High before becoming the Dunk. Be True to Your School connected it with university identity. Recognition came from combining shape and team colours, rather than depending only on a technical innovation hidden within the shoe’s sole.
