Sporty Color Blocked Sneakers

Nike SB's Dunk Low Sneakers Get a FC Barcelona Colorway

— May 11, 2021 — Lifestyle
Nike SB gives its Dunk Low sneaker model a new FB Barcelona colorway update to celebrate the famed team. The shoe is decorated in a palette of red, blue, and yellow details color-blocked throughout the upper. This is chosen to represent the home kits of the football team.

The tongues add a sense of breathability with its mesh materials and the base layer at the upper is made with a soft suede paneling. Each foot boasts a different design, as the left is rooted in a burgundy palette on the tongue and toe boxes. The right side reverses the palette in the same areas as yellow makes up the branding details with the Swoosh on the sides and motifs at the heel and tongue.
