Nike continues to roll out new special edition Dunk colorways, this time unveiling the two-tone Dunk Low 'Ocean,' a unique silhouette that blends materials, textures, and colors to capture the look and feel of ocean water.
The new low-top sneaker features White tumbled leather uppers with Teal overlays in a rough textured material that mimics the appearance of choppy ocean waves. Meanwhile, the tongue tags and insoles boast a unique ripple pattern. In addition, Nike branding is peppered throughout the model, including on the sneakers heel tab, which features an embroidered logo in teal and white.
Balancing out the sneakers design is a crisp white midsole and marbled blue and white rubber outsole. For those interested, the aquatic-themed sneakers are currently for sale on Nike's website where they retail for $100.
