Throughout its various highs and lows, the Nike Dunk Low has always worn its throwback aspects on its sleeves, most commonly seen in its two-tone “Be True To Your School” blocking that’s been a part of its arsenal since Peter Moore’s design first hit the shelves.

Even if the ’80s is its typical playground in that way, the latest look for the Nike Dunk Low, in “Purple Dynasty,” is a clear homage to the decade following. With a maximalist blend of the titular royal shade, electrifying highlighter greens and oranges, and pink trim, this pair earnestly serves up its clearest embrace with tribal-esque blocky insoles. Contrast stitching throughout the uppers that brackets hardy fabric overlays and a satin tongue adds some textural intrigue to a colorway that shouldn’t struggle to attract attention in the first place.

The Nike Dunk Low “Purple Dynasty” should be coming to Nike channels soon, retailing for $135. Check out official images below and stay in the loop as more info comes to light via our Sneaker Release Dates hub.
