Nike unveils a new iteration of the Dunk High sneaker model with a white and orange color palette inspired by Texas. The base layer foundation rests on white detailing before overlays on top are slightly contrasted by an off-white hue. This includes the heel section, forefoot, and the throat area, which are detailed with the off-white perforated leather material.
The tongue section is designed in a crisp white touch using mesh for breathability over the collars, the quarters, and toe boxes. Bright orange makes its way onto the sneaker as a symbol of the Texas Longhorns and adds tonal contrast by the tongue branding accents, the heel tabs, and the Swooshes on the lateral side.
