Description
A hoops legend meets streetwear heritage in this bold, red-accented Dunk Low built for those who play — and dress — to win.
The Nike Dunk Low “Lisa Leslie” pays tribute to one of basketball’s most iconic trailblazers — the first player to dunk in a WNBA game and a three-time MVP. Part of Nike’s celebrated “Be True to Your School” legacy reimagined for women, this colorway draws from Leslie’s legendary career and unmistakable on-court presence. The bold red and white palette channels the fiery energy that defined her game, while the clean, low-profile silhouette stays true to the Dunk’s 1985 court roots.
Crafted with a smooth leather upper, this Dunk Low delivers the premium feel and structured support that has made the silhouette a staple in both sneaker culture and everyday wardrobes. The padded tongue and collar provide cushioned comfort, while the perforated toe box ensures breathability during extended wear. Signature Nike branding on the heel tab, Swoosh sidewall, and woven tongue label completes the authentic look that has cemented the Dunk as a cultural icon across sports, fashion, and street style.
Released as a women’s-exclusive colorway, the Lisa Leslie Dunk Low bridges athletic heritage with contemporary style — equally at home courtside, on the streets, or paired with elevated casual looks. It’s a piece of sneaker history celebrating a legend who changed the game forever.

Styling
Style with cropped white denim and an oversized varsity jacket for an effortless courtside look, or lean into the bold red tones by pairing with neutral loungewear and a clean cream hoodie. The high-contrast palette also works beautifully against monochrome tailoring — think wide-leg black trousers and a fitted tank for a sport-luxe finish.
