Nike launches another tonal look that adorns its signature Dunk Low sneaker model with the latest Metallic Silver colorway to join its roster. The shoe is made with tumbled leather paneling throughout the upper in a rusty silver hue along with smooth leather applied as textural contrast by the Swoosh along the medial side of the shoe.
To add some tonal contrast, the sneaker is detailed with white tongue accents, white laces, and white lining. Branding can also be seen in the form of the Nike logo on the tongue tag over the forefoot and at the heel where there is a quadruple Swoosh decor. It is rounded out by a creamy tonal midsole and white outsoles.
