Maize and blue is one of the most recognisable colour pairs in American college sport, and it needs no logo to be read correctly. That is exactly the condition the Dunk was designed for: Nike introduced the model in 1985 as a college basketball shoe and sold it on team palettes, with the panelled upper cut so two colours could be told apart at a distance.
Here Varsity Maize is the bright yellow on the base, Midnight Navy takes the overlays, the Swoosh and the collar. Nothing else is added. The QS designation means limited distribution rather than a general release. Nike put it out in women's sizing in January 2017 at 120 dollars, part of a run of college colour Dunk retros the brand issued across the middle of that decade.
