Matt Varga While the Nike Dunk Low has gained a reputation as one of the more reliable Nike sneakers, a few choice releases get different branding and upgraded material. The next edition in the Dunk Premium lineage, the “Dark Stucco” arrives with distinct outdoorsy flavor and a switch up in their typical construction.
Modern Dunks are most recognizable in their all-leather getup, yet this “Dark Stucco” pair experiments greatly with that traditional recipe. Textured, raised leather overtakes the overlay panels here, somewhere between rustic paving and animal print. The former has lent some to lend these an unofficial “Urban Landscape 2.0” nickname. It’s not the only retouching though, as the Swoosh gets brandished in all suede, clad in the titular, olive-adjacent “Dark Stucco” shade.
Outside of those two key re-framings, the shoe stays true to the core silhouette. “Vintage Green” takes up the underlying leather construction, while the stitching in the center of the sole goes in a soft yellow “Alabaster” direction. The ambiguous origins of the leather print here aside, the shoe as a whole carries a natural atmosphere, a perfect fit for the oncoming spring slate.
The “Dark Stucco” Dunk Low Premium is expected to begin rolling out the the Nike site and select retailers as we get closer to April. Expect a $125 price tag when you come across them.
In another off-shoot Dunk release, take a look at the “Velvet Brown” Nike Dunk Low that heavily utilizes recycled material.
