Most basketball shoes used to be white before the first Air Jordan ever came into the market. The rest, as they say, is history! In fact, initially, the NBA was so troubled by the very bold and unconventional styling of the Air Jordan, that it banned the shoe from the league. Risking heavy fines of up to $5000 a match, Jordan continued to wear these shoes unabated. Nike, of course, was happy to compensate in the bargain the shoes remained under public scrutiny all the time.



Indeed, this paid off big time as the Nike Air Jordan quickly went on to become a household name, what with all the controversy and Jordan playing extremely well that year. Women's' Air Jordans are also popular with the ladies, featuring similar bold designs.

Two years later Nike released the Air Max into the market. This went on to become popular with a rather versatile audience, ranging from fans of the Hip Hop Culture to, if police records are to be believed, criminals too. The Nike Air Max shoe are designed with wide-spread cushioning at the heel and take the responsibility for making your running more comfortable. Either you desire for a comfortable running sport shoe or an elegant looking professional shoe, Nike is definitely the best! Shoes and dunks that come from this brand name keep selling like hot cakes out there in the bakeshop. The air cushioning unit can be seen from the side of the midsole in most of the Air Max models.

The other major model coming from Nike was the series of Nike Dunks. They come in three popular varieties, which are the Nike Dunk Low, Nike Dunk Mid, and Nike Dunk High - roughly the same models and designs are usually up for grabs in all three sections.

Nike Dunks were released in 1985, but they fizzled out of production for some time. After many years of their absence from the market, Nike decided to re-release them in 1998. This was a decision that has proven to be extremely successful. Nike initiated the move with the safe classic colors in both the Dunk High and Dunk Low models.

After the initial attempt grabbed the attention of a new generation, Nike realized the potential for its Dunk designs, got more adventurous, and took it a step further. They commissioned popular people - ranging from street artists and designers to established companies, and popular athletes to collaborate with them on the so-called ""limited-edition"" models. This brought on an era of craze and hype that has lasted to this very day.

Nike manufactures the Dunks for the ladies as a separate line of products, Women's Nike Dunks. They essentially have the same design principles in spirit with the feminine touch. These are quite the craze too among the market of women sneaker collectors and fans. Women who is fashion concerned must consider buying these impressing range of Nike Dunks.
