# Texas-Inspired Hi-Top Sneakers Nike Launches a White and Orange Colorway of the Dunk High By Amy Duong | Published 2022-03-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-high-1 References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/3/nike-dunk-high-white-orange-dv6986-100-release-date) [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundial-colorway) unveils a new iteration of the Dunk [High](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-farms-high-protein-nutrition-shake) sneaker model with a white and orange color palette inspired by Texas. The base layer foundation rests on white detailing before overlays on top are slightly contrasted by an off-white hue. This includes the heel section, forefoot, and the throat area, which are detailed with the off-white perforated leather material. The tongue section is designed in a crisp white touch using mesh for breathability over the collars, the quarters, and toe boxes. Bright orange makes its way onto the sneaker as a symbol of the Texas Longhorns and adds tonal contrast by the tongue branding accents, the heel tabs, and the Swooshes on the lateral side.
