Nike's Dunk High 1985 Sneaker Gets an Acid Wash Colorway

— August 2, 2021 — Lifestyle
Nike introduces a new tonal iteration of the Dunk High 1985 sneaker model in a monochromatic Acid Wash colorway this time around. The tie dye looks are the most notable visual of the sneaker and this time around, it is done in a black and white aesthetic.

The shoe boasts overlays around the throat, the heels, and the forefoot complete in the black and light gray acid wash patterning throughout. The same color-blocking details travel across the quarters, the collars, and the toe boxes in a creamy beige hue. Black details arrive to add some tonal contrast in a stark application at the Swoosh branding, the laces, and the interior lining. A touch of bright orange can be found in the Nike checks.
