For 2013, Nike expands their Dunk collection (and allows you to expand yours) with the new Nike Dunk Woven series.
The predominant feature on these Nike Dunk Woven kicks is the basket-like pattern that anchors the sides of the shoe. The pattern also looks similar to intricate shoelace designs sometimes seen on the front of shoes. This design gives these kicks a new dimension to play with colorways.
These Nike Dunk Woven shoes come in a variety of colors including a bold red, black and white high top sneaker. This is the colorway you wear when you want people to look at your feet first and your face second. There's also a less noticeable navy blue and white as well as a green, black, orange and white. The attention-grabbing woven treatment is applied to the front of the sneakers as well as the sides and heal.
