Nike Dunk High "Kentucky" Returns for 40th Anniversary Celebration

 

The classic Nike Dunk High “Kentucky” is coming back this summer 2025 to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

First released in 1985, the “Kentucky” colorway was part of Nike’s famous “Be True To Your School” collection, designed by Peter Moore. The collection honored college basketball teams with sneakers matching their school colors, and this pair proudly represented the University of Kentucky.

Now, four decades later, the Dunk High Retro SE “Kentucky” returns in its original form — featuring a clean white leather upper with royal blue overlays. The two-tone color scheme is simple but bold, giving off strong school pride and retro vibes.

This iconic sneaker is set to launch in summer 2025 for $150 USD and will be available on Nike.com and select Nike retailers. It’s a must-have for sneaker fans and college basketball lovers alike.
