Nike SB introduces a new tonal iteration of the iconic Dunk Low sneaker model for the season with a wheat and navy blue colorway. The sneakers retain the signature silhouette and have a textural contrast as the toe and mudguard are designed with rough suede material.
Navy blue makes up the rest of the upper with heavy canvas materials as a touch of contrast. Patterned laces of navy and blue wrap around a layered wheat tongue tag complete with a navy pull tab. The entire upper rests on top of a white sole unit for tonal contrast. It is unveiled online by Masterchefian and fans should expect to see the shoes drop sometime in 2023.
