Sparkling Pink Skate Sneakers

A New Barbie Dunk is Dosed in Pink Hues and Glittery Details

— August 21, 2023 — Fashion
Nike unveils its own iteration of the Barbie Dunk sneaker model to celebrate the iconic doll and its recent film. The shoes are detailed with a pink layered upper made from leather materials for a premium feel paired with lavender tones for contrast in the form of suede fabric for textural contrast.

It is then detailed with black glittery accents which are most notably seen in the form of the Swoosh on the lateral side of the sneaker. To continue the sparkling look, there is a large N charm with a completely bedazzled look. The Barbie Dunks are then rounded out with the same sparkling accent at the heel, Nike branding in bright red, and clear outsole with celestial confetti.
