Nike unveils the new tonal iteration of the SB Dunk High Decon sneaker model for the season with the Gorge Green colorway to join the roster. It is made with inspiration drawn from Christmas and the upcoming holiday season. The shoe blends together the hues of black, gum, light brown, and gorge green throughout the silhouette.
In terms of the construction of the shoe, it has a full green suede material making up the base of the shoe and then detailed with matching tonal branding accents all throughout. The upper sits on top of a light brown tonal gum Nike Grind rubber outsole for a sustainable touch. The wearer's foot then rests on top of a black Zoom Air insole.
