Breaking Down New Nike NFL Dunk Shoes

When Nike partnered with the NFL, the new uniforms were met with nonchalance from an overall lack of change. Well, they have revolutionized how you can support your favorite team with the new Nike NFL Dunk shoes that are fully customizable. 

Let's begin with the fact that you can now rock your support for team with high-top sneakers that look absolutely brilliant. 

However, if you don't like what Nike picks in the form of design, you can customize the swagger as you see fit, and the process is addicting. 

I recommend you take a moment and start the process and go beast mode on some new sneakers at the official Nike page here. 

Let's take a deeper look at all the possibilities.

Wow Factor: 9 out of 10

These things are off the chart, mainly because you can have a nearly original sneaker that shows your love of team and rocks your own personal sense of swagger. 

The overall colors give you the ability to make these things pop, making bystanders stop and ask you how you got them. 

The sneaker itself may look like a simple basketball shoe, but your ability to make it your own is what really makes these sneakers. 

Design: 9 out of 10

Again, this is all up to you. 

You can make them as flashy or as muted as you want to. As for the design, it's a tad plain for some hardcore sneaker enthusiasts. 

The outsole is a solid color, but the upper gives enough design to make color choices really count. Just a small teak of lace color and tongue can really make these stand out. 

The logo is represented at the top of the tongue for all to see. I also like the swoosh meeting at the back to make an arch that is the perfect accent on the shoe. 

Overall Swag Grade: 9 out of 10

I can't say enough about the swagger on these shoes. 

It's one thing to rock a jersey of t-shirt that every last fan will have, but you can put your own stamp on how you see your fanaticism. 

From Nike: 

"

With authentic team logos and specific color palettes for all 32 NFL teams, you can customize your Dunks to match your home and away jerseys. And with smooth, full-grain leather, the Nike Dunk NFL iD will add a premium touch to your game-day setup.

"

Hardcore fans can now rock sneakers specific to whether your team is home and away. You are also getting the quality that comes with owning Nike sneakers. 

It would be easy to call these gimmicks if they didn't also look great too. I'm sold on all the possibilities of these new Dunks that should be a hit with the rest of the league.
