# Soft Vegan Leather Sneakers Nike SB's Dunk High Sneakers Get a Baroque Brown Colorway By Amy Duong | Published 2021-01-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baroque-brown References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2021/1/nike-sb-dunk-high-baroque-brown-vegan-leather-release-info) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/CKNRjQnp8AM/) [Nike SB](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-of-cinema) Dunk Highs get a new colorway update with the Baroque Brown tonal palette. The most notable component of the latest installment is spotlighted by the construction. The sneakers are made with a [vegan leather material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asparagus-colorway) as a more sustainable alternative. The upper is heightened and the QS makes up this area with a paneling construction to show off the dimension and slight contrast around the laces. The [tonal contrast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-blue-1) offered by the lacing system is rather minimal as it is done in a forest green color. The interior lining is offered in the same Baroque Brown color, making the only other tonal difference is the Nike SB branding that is printed on top of the tongue.
