Nike introduces a new iteration of the Dunk High Retro NN sneaker model to join the Toasty series with the brand new Rattan colorway. The shoes are similar to the design of a down jacket, designed to keep wearers warm and cozy during the colder seasons of the year.
It boasts a vintage design language and also follows the brand's Move to Zero campaign as the shoe is crafted from sustainable elements with recycled materials as part of the construction. It kicks off with smooth white canvas in a padded application around the toe box and follows with matching quarter paneling and an ankle collar done in a quilted design. It is overlayed in the Rattan hue to round out the sneaker.
