The designer Peter Moore, who also created the Nike Air Jordan 1, and his team developed the Dunk High. With the "College Colors" program, in which the colors of the model were based on the twelve most important college teams, the triumph of the Nike Dunk High began. Nike's marketing team gave the whole thing the headline: "Be true to your school" and every fan had the opportunity to dress in the colors of their team.
