Matt Varga While some may decry the current state of Dunks, experiencing a major tumble in status in the past few years, others may celebrate that same trend, now able to access the defining silhouette of the decade without fighting through contentious releases or sky high grey market pricing. A downstream effect is the rising number of kids’ Dunks, the model shifting from SneakerCon floors to playgrounds more and more as time draws on. If you’re in the market for the kids-sized kicks, the upcoming “Light Violet Ore” version might just be the answer you’re looking for.
The palette essentially speaks for itself, cooking up a combination of violet tones that tint slightly as we work from lilac underlays to lavender overlays. Deep purple on the Swoosh and heel cup helps to establish a monochromatic profile, broken up by bright gold accents on the tongue & heel. The final thing that jumps out to our eye is the tumbled leather panels on the upper, proving that serious material quality isn’t exclusive to adults pairs any longer. They might not be exactly Pink Dunks, but the rosy-adjacent hues that comprise this kids’ release are sure to make it a breakout success the same way those releases continue to be.
The kids’ Nike Dunk Low “Light Violet Ore” is currently expected in traditional GS sizing, spanning from 3.5Y to 7Y. Be ready for a $90 retail price upon arrival.
