Earlier this month, Nike unveiled a new version of its Dunk Low shoes with a design inspired by the winter solstice. The new shoes feature a striking orange and red color palette, with graphics of the sun and its rays embroidered throughout the upper. For an added, thoughtful touch, the tongue tab and left shoe’s insole are even printed with the date of this year's winter solstice: 21 12 21 15:59. The whole thing is then rounded out by the shoe's light peach midsoles and bright orange outsoles. The limited-edition Dunk Low Winter Solstice shoes are available from Nike [SNKRS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-day-1).
