Nike introduces a new Dunk High EMB sneaker model to join its Dunk line as a part of its Embedded collection full of basketball themes. The colorway this time around is led by the use of crackled leather along the Swoosh branding emblem. The sneaker highlights the sensibilities of the sport and features the signature sock lining true to the Embedded line.
The upper is made with white canvas material at the base foundation and has the white crackled leather Swoosh on the side. This continues to cover the beige overlaying detail and it all rests on top of the rust-pink tonal sole unit foundation. It is set to launch online in the upcoming weeks.
