Nike is celebrating the end of the MLB season with the launch of a special edition Dunk Low silhouette inspired by the colors of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The forthcoming colorway dips the sneaker’s signature overlay design in a royal blue color that is made with suede material.
The sneaker boasts an all-white base, red rebranded tongues and heels, and a reference to Los Angeles seen through a "Welcome to Dodger Stadium" graphic. The sneakers rest on a white midsole and gum outsole, with the right sneaker adding a hint of pink on the outsole.
The new Nike SB Dunk Low in ‘Dodgers’ will be released on September 30 in family sizing at local skate shops, while a general release is slated for October 1.
