Nike introduces a new tonal and textural iteration of the signature Dunk High sneaker model that arrives in the form of the Blue Denim colorway. The shoe has previously seen a Pink Denim option and this replicates the same design language. The shoes have a white leather base foundation that sits on top of a vintage cream midsole base.
The light blue denim is seen overlaying on top of the shoe with dark blue at the contrasting stitching. The Swoosh on the lateral side of the shoe continues with the same aesthetic as the outsole is made in a similar shade to round it all out. The shoes are set to launch online at Nike later this year.
