The Nike women’s Dunk High ‘Varsity Purple’ draws inspiration from the CO.JP ‘City Attack’ pack, released exclusively in Japan in 1999. Like the older colorway, this pair makes use of an all-leather upper that pairs a crisp white base with contrasting violet overlays. Gold Nike branding on the woven tongue tag is similarly carried over from the original. Refreshed details include satin laces, a satin lining on the collar and tongue, and a lavender-tinged translucent rubber outsole.

Men’s Nike shoes tend to have an equal width between the forefoot and heel. Women’s Nike shoes most often have a narrower heel than forefoot. Some women with a wider foot will often select men’s shoes for comfort, because women’s shoes are often more narrow than men’s shoes. According to Nike, other fit differences between men and women’s shoes include arch length and height.
