Nike

Though Nike denies it as the source of inspiration, this sneaker’s graphics are strikingly similar to Eddie Van Halen’s iconic ‘Frankenstrat’ or ‘Frankenstein’ guitar. The design was similar enough that Van Halen famously filed a lawsuit against Nike for copyright infringement, which led to the coined ‘Van Halen’ name. Originally released in 1985, Dunks have become one of the most iconic sneaker styles of all time and a blank canvas for design inspiration.
