Nike's Dunk Low Gets a New Playful Teddy Bear Colorway
Nike introduced yet another tonal iteration of the Dunk Low sneaker model to join its roster with the new Teddy Bear colorway palette. The shoe was recently seen in a Pink Teddy Bear up date and this time around, it highlights a cozy brown tone throughout the silhouette.
It is made from a blend of materials including suede throughout the upper and then detailed with an off-white tonal branded Swoosh. Branding continues in the form of the Nike tag with themed stitching along the lateral side of the shoe. There is an outline of a teddy bear head that marks the medial side of the heel. Rounding out the look are the laces with blue and brown speckled detail.
