This year Nike introduced the concept of new vintage sneakers with the vintage running series. The series gave classic Nike running shoes new life, but with a clearly worn look. The idea has been such a hit that we then got word that Nike would be continuing the vintage theme and taking it to Basketball with a release of Vandals and Terminator vintage style kicks. Nike has now added the Nike Dunk to the list of basketball kicks getting the worn vintage treatment. Nike is marketing the series of Dunks as the “Be True” The College Colors Program”. The kicks pictured represent the College basketball teams of Michigan University, Syracuse, Iowa State, St, Johns and Kentucky. Also slated to be included in the pack are UNLV, NC Sate, and the University of Arizona. The kicks will release in 2008.

Update: The kicks will release in France on the 7th of January exclusively at Colette and then will receive a much wider release to shops all over the country.
