The Nike Dunk High "Varsity Maize" is making a return. The colorway, an original member of Nike's Be True To Your School collection, captures the shoe's timelessness. 

The 1985 release created a cultural movement as the Dunk line became a coveted model in no time.  The "Varsity Maize" colorway, created for the Iowa Hawkeyes and resembled the elusive "Wu-Tang" version, is releasing once again.

The return arrives at the perfect time as the intersection of nostalgia and comfort are at an all-time high. Whether you're an OG or building up your Swoosh credentials, the Dunk High "Varsity Maize" is respected by all — making it a must-have. 

The classic Dunk color blocking is dressed in the widely recognized black and varsity maize. A white midsole and yellow outsole appear as the Dunk High is taking us back to school.
