Th “Dunks”, nicknamed by enthusiasts, are sneakers designed by the Los Angeles Designer Rick Owens, who is known for exaggerating the proportions of his designs. Back in 2006, Rick Owens created a sneaker inspired by the basketball sneakers he would see growing up. He added his touch to it by making them much larger and chunkier than your average sneaker, while handcrafting them in Italy from the finest leathers. This sneaker has garnered a cult following over the years due to its limited production run. As you can see from the pictures, the shoes have a swoosh like section on the side panels. It has been rumored that Nike filed a cease and desist order against Rick Owens, and that is why Rick Owens completely overhauled the design of the sneakers. The overhaul resulted in the removal of the swoosh. Since the sneaker was only produced for a little over three years, with the swoosh, they have become very sought after by collectors. Depending on the condition of the sneakers, they can run you upwards of two thousand dollars! Do you think it’s worth it to own a piece of fashion history? Or is it just hype?
