What’s the difference between dunks and lows? 

Like twins, there are subtle differences between the two. Although they are similar in appearance the lows boast more technology in their making than the dunks. The lows also sport a fuller, more squared off outsole which allows for the stretching of the logo beneath the sole while the logo appears narrower on the dunks. When it comes to the uppers, the dunks feature a taller and wider toe box to support its hourglass shape while the lows offer a slimmer toe box to maintain the slim fit of the shoe. The latter features more panels, more stitching and more usable lace holes than the former. In more minor details, the lows feature a stitched-on Jumpman logo on the tongue whereas the dunks Nike logo can be spotted on the insole. Ultimately, the lows are created with performance in mind - having emerged from a collaboration between Nike basketball superstar Michael Jordan - while the dunks transcend the court to become a street style essential.
