Oxidized Suede Low-Cut Sneakers

Nike's New Dunk Low Design is Spotlighted by the Muted Tonal Look

— April 30, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nike unveils its latest tonal and textural design of the iconic Dunk Low sneaker model for the season that is highlighted by the use of oxidized suede materials at the upper. The shoes have a crisp white leather base foundation and are detailed with multi-tonal suede overlaying on top complete with the aforementioned oxidized fading for a more muted look for the season.

The branding Swoosh on the side of the shoe and heel tab are designed in baby pink, whereas the laces at the forefoot are designed in a muted blue hue. Additionally, there are colored sketch logos on the tongue tabs and white canvas makes up the heel collar sections - all of this then sits on top of pre-yellowed midsole foundations.
