Nike released the Gym Red colorway for its iconic 'Dunk Low' silhouette. The Gym Red colorway incorporates the same color pattern as many of the brand's previous Dunk Low releases. The upper of the shoe features a white leather base with large strips of red leather layered overtop it, and a prominent red 'Swoosh' logo that extends backward from the middle of the shoe.
The toe vamp features punched holes for breathability and maneuverability, and the outsole boasts a high grip-strength red rubber for stability. The Nike name and logo can be seen on the heel, tongue, and insole of the sneaker in a sewn-on golden thread, which gives the sneaker a retro, high-quality feel perfect for gym-goers, athletes, and shoe enthusiasts alike.
