Stark Contrasting Low-Cut Sneakers

Nike's Dunk Low Disrupt 2 Gets a Michigan Colorway

Nike introduces a classic sneaker model in its signature Michigan colorway palette that details the Dunk Low Disrupt 2 silhouette this time around. It arrives in women's sizes with Wolverine-themed colors throughout the entire sneaker. It has perforated details at the toe boxes to add a touch of breathability and it is detailed in the Varsity Maize tone.

This same color continues onto the tongue, the collars, and the quarter sections of the shoe. Midnight Navy is then applied on top of smooth leather materials at the overlaying accents and the additional patches that detail the heels and the toe boxes. It can also be seen at the back of the shoe in a dimensional piece.
