Minimalistic Low-Cut Sneakers

Nike's Dunk Low Sneakers Get a College Themed Colorway

Nike introduces a new and very minimal iteration of the Dunk Low sneaker model that is marked with some notable detailing at the interior and logo accents. The colorway is one of many that are designed with inspiration from colleges and random GRs.

The dual tonal design delivers predominantly white hues throughout the shoe, decorating the laces, the perforated toe boxes, the interior lining, the quarter panels, the tongue, and the collars. This is paired together with an off-white color that is seen adorning the Swoosh and other overlaying details. Looking inside of the shoes, there is a bright neon green insole unit that is bright in hue and is entirely bold in comparison to the exterior.
