Jovani Hernandez When Peter Moore designed the Nike Dunk High in 1985, he might’ve not anticipated his design would transcend basketball and become a cultural icon.
Recently, the 37-year-old silhouette emerged in an autumn-friendly mix of off-white, brown, tan and green. Tumbled leather, not smooth leather, takes over the pair’s base layers, deviating from not only the original Nike Dunk offerings, but also most of the options that’ve surfaced over the last five years. A shiny counterpart lands on the profiles, working with a cool brown hue to deliver further contrast to the high-top sneaker. Collar and inner-lining work in-tandem with tread underfoot to inject a touch of greenery into the mix, helping create a fall-appropriate ensemble ahead of September. Lastly, the speckled detailing that takes over the outsole suggests the pair has been constructed using up-cycled materials, as has been the case with Nike Sportswear’s “Next Nature” collection.
Enjoy official images of the pair ahead, and anticipate a Nike SNKRS launch before 2022 ends.
Elsewhere under the Swoosh umbrella, the Air Force 1 continues to celebrate its 40th anniversary in style.
