Nike is toasting Lisa Leslie for becoming the first woman to dunk in a WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) game with a special edition Dunk Low – releasing this week.

Leslie played for the Los Angeles Sparks when the WNBA began in 1997. She led the Sparks to two WNBA championships, won three MVP awards, and made eight All-Star teams. She also was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Her historic dunk took place on July 30, 2002.

This offering of the Nike Dunk Low comes dressed in the Los Angeles Sparks colours of Purple and Gold pairs with Teal Swooshes, branded tongue tags, and heels. Leslie’s number “9” on the heels atop a White midsole and Purple rubber outsole completes the design.
