Tonal Black Suede Sneakers

UNDEFEATED and Nike Join Forces on the Dunk vs AF-1 Dunk Low

— June 22, 2021 — Lifestyle
UNDEFEATED and Nike work in collaboration on the new Dunk Low sneaker model named Dunk vs AF-1. The duo prepare to launch the shoe to the market officially in the coming weeks. The sleek silhouette is mostly black in hue as the upper is made with a black suede base foundation with ballistic nylon making up the collars and faux fur at the Swooshes for a dramatic textural contrast throughout the entire shoe.

The rest of the shoe includes the UNDEFEATED Five Strike logo on the tongue tags of the shoe and heel debossing. "NIKE" marks the heel tabs and the insoles in a printed application. Rounding out the shoe are the black midsole foundation with clear icy rubber outsoles.
