Nike introduces yet another tonal palette of the Dunk High 1985 sneaker model for the season. This time, it arrives in a design language that channels a vintage feel. It features pink denim overlaying throughout the upper following the previous launch of the tie-dye patterns back in 2021.
It is based on smooth white leather on the quarters, the collars, and the toe boxes. In contrast to this, the Swoosh branding on the side and the overlay details are detailed in a faded pink denim fabrication. For even more contrast on the model, there is red stitching that runs along the base layer paneling to add a slightly bold touch. It rests on a creamy midsole that gives it a slightly worn-in look.
