Gather round the campfire as Nike reminisces about the greatest shoe to ever drop. The "Campfire Orange" Dunk Low is a slimmed-down take on the Shattered Backboard Air Jordan 1, inspired by Michael Jordan's iconic glass-smashing Dunk in 1985.

Specifically, this low-top pulls inspo from the 2019 Shattered Backboard Air Jordan 3.0, known for its glossy, wrinkled patent leather and blacked-out base. The darkened hues create a strong contrast with the white midfoot and satin finishes of the OG sneaker.

Though that one still has a cult following all its own.

The Nike Dunk Low essentially siphons the aura of the Shattered Backboard sneaker and projects it across a smaller frame. Still, the sneaker's overall energy matches its unofficial predecessor.

One main difference, besides the obvious height discrepancy, is the lack of wrinkles in the leather. Instead, the Dunk Low's black base is matte and smooth, rather than glossy and crinkled. Other than that, though, the similarities are uncanny.

The Air Jordan Dunk Low even wears the same pale vanilla cream midsole that gives the sneaker its vintage charm.

When it comes to legendary AJ1 sneakers, the debate over which colorway is best is certainly thorny, but when it comes to which sneaker's lore runs deepest, well, that's a no brainer.
