Twenty years ago Lisa Leslie became the the first woman to dunk in a WNBA game. To celebrate that historical moment, it is being reported that Nike will be dropping a special women’s colorway of the Nike Dunk Low.
Lisa Leslie played for the Los Angeles Sparks when the WNBA first began way back in 1997. During her time with the Sparks, Leslie led her team to two WNBA championships, while also winning three MVP awards and making eight All-Star teams. When all was aid and done, Leslie earned a spot in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
As mentioned above, the Nike Dunk Low WMNS Lisa Leslie pays tribute to the first woman to dunk in a WNBA game, which took place on July 30, 2002. Done in the colors of the Los Angeles Sparks, details include a Purple and Gold upper paired up Teal Swooshes, branded tongue tags and heels. Notable details include Leslie?s number ?9? on the heels atop a White midsole and Purple rubber outsole.
The Nike Dunk Low WMNS Lisa Leslie has not been officially announced yet, but current reports have them releasing sometime in July at select retailers and Nike.com. For a complete guide including official photos, release dates, pricing and where to buy, visit: Nike Dunk Low WMNS Lisa Leslie.
