Nike recently introduced denim iterations of the Dunk High 1985 sneaker model in pink and blue iterations and the latest to join is the Green Denim design update. The shoe retains its retro design language and starts off with a white leather material that makes up the base of the upper.
It is then detailed with light green by the denim overlaying details to apply both tonal and textural contrast to the shoe. It wraps around the toe to the heel section. The same light green denim makes up the Swoosh branding by the lateral side of the shoe. It sits on top of a mint green rubber outsole to continue with the overall tonal theme.
