Nike has dipped its Dunk Low silhouette in a Celtics-inspired color palette, making it the perfect gift for a basketball fanatic. Expected to release this Spring, the sneaker boasts bold green uppers with a white base construction and black Swooshes on the medials. The green shade extends to the mudguards, lacing systems, and heel counters. The rear tabs have black highlights to match the Swoosh, while the tags and insoles include vintage Nike writing. Black rubber bottoms and white midsoles round off the colorway, making the colored elements pop.
As Nike prepares the ‘Glow in the Dark’ and ‘UNLV’ Dunk Lows for a wider release, the Celtics-themed Dunk Low will arrive online and at select retailers in the coming months.
