It has been two years since the much-hyped release of Nike's Dunk Low Disrupt -- a sleek low-top designed specifically for women -- and the sportswear giant is back to announce the launch of its stylish sequel, the Dunk Low Disrupt 2.
Compared to its predecessor, the Dunk Low Disrupt 2 more closely resembles Nike's classic Dunk Low silhouette. Here, the sneaker's outsole stays true to the original model while its heel is covered with a unique plastic overlay. Meanwhile, an extra eyelet has been added to the side of the toebox, and its standard eyelets have been double layered.
Nike has only revealed one colorway for the new shoe called 'Malachite.' The new color scheme features an off-white canvas combined with green suede and blue detailing.
