Off-White x Nike Dunk Low “University Gold” – CT0856-700
The Off-White x Nike Dunk Low “University Gold” is one of three colorways from Virgil Abloh’s December 2019 Dunk collaboration, paying homage to skate culture’s adoption of 1980s Nike basketball silhouettes. Released on December 20, 2019, this edition draws directly from the original 1985 “Be True to Your School” pack, specifically the Michigan-inspired University Gold and Midnight Navy colorway .

Why the Off-White Dunk Low “University Gold”
The “University Gold” arrived as part of a three-colorway pack that also included “University Red” and “Pine Green.” Each pair took a classic Dunk color scheme and rebuilt it through Abloh’s deconstructive lens—exposed foam, secondary lacing, industrial text, and the signature zip tie .
What sets the “University Gold” apart is its direct lineage to the original 1985 Dunk program. The University Gold and Midnight Navy combination is a near-exact reference to the Michigan colorway from the “Be True to Your School” series, grounding the collaboration in genuine sneaker heritage rather than pure aesthetic experimentation . The bright orange rope lacing and flagged Swoosh tab add the disruptive Off-White touch without obscuring the Dunk’s original proportions.
For collectors, the CT0856-700 represents a key moment in Abloh’s Nike partnership—a release that bridged the deconstructed language of “The Ten” with the Dunk’s skate-culture legacy. It remains one of the most sought-after Dunk collaborations of the modern era.
