# Bold Red Low-Cut Sneakers Nike's Dunk Low Disrupt Gets a University Red Tonal Update By Amy Duong | Published 2020-10-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-disrupt References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2020/10/nike-dunk-low-disrupt-university-red-womens-mesh-leather-release-information) [Nike's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mystic-red-1) Dunk Low Disrupt sneakers arrive in a University Red colorway update as the latest bold option of the signature silhouette. The reworked pair of shoes are exclusively made in women's sizing and takes elements from retro archival sneakers by the sportswear brand. Nodding to the 90s, the brand's [basketball shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-and-peace) such as the 1984 Air Train detail the Dunk Low Disrupt. This translates with the deconstructed design language informed by mesh and leather materials throughout the upper. The Swoosh emblem on the mid-panel of the shoe overlays the back of the collar, which can also be detached when it is not laced. Rounding out the reworked look, there are elements of topstitching and small perforations.
