Nike has revealed a Nike Dunk Low lifestyle sneaker in a 'UNLV' edition that features satin materials. The sneakers are exclusively available in women's sizing and are inspired by 'UNLV' makeup from the Nike Dunk 1985 'Be True to Your School' collection, which references the University of Nevada in Las Vegas.
The Nike Dunk Low UNLV sneakers feature gray-tone uppers with red overlays. In contrast to their original version, this new iteration is accented with satin fabric uppers. The satin material gives the sneakers a shiny effect with a smooth texture.
Furthermore, the Nike logo branding appears on the lateral side in red. Additional details include the standard white-colored midsole, red sole, red lacing system, and gray tongues.
