Sure, the Michigan Wolverines just took home another NCAA National Championship in football. But Ann Arbor will always be synonymous with the glory days of college basketball. Although they never hung a banner, the Fab Five forever changed the sport and its culture.

Sports fans and sneakerheads remain fascinated by the transcendent talent on that team. Look no further than a new Nike Dunk Low Vintage colorway that takes cues from Michigan's navy and maize school colors and the black socks worn by Fab Five players in the early 1990s (yes, it was considered a controversial issue at the time).

The Nike Dunk Low Vintage 'Michigan' is scheduled to be released at 10:00 a.m. EST on Thursday, February 1. Online shoppers can purchase the shoes for $125 in adult sizes on the Nike website and Nike SNKRS app.

The Nike Dunk Low arrived on the basketball scene a few years before the Fab Five and similarly refuses to fade away from popular culture. The 'Michigan' colorway features a full-grain black leather upper with moody Midnight Navy overlays. Meanwhile, the Tour Yellow gives vintage letterman jacket vibes. Lastly, the subtle crackle effect at the collar looks like you've been saving this pair for decades.

The Nike Dunk Low Vintage 'Michigan' is a perfect shoe for old-school hoops fans and fashion-forward individuals. Just as the Fab Five was effortlessly cool, the same can be said about these sneakers. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news from the sports world.
