Nike launches another tonal iteration of the Dunk Low sneaker model for the season with the vibrant Miami Hurricanes colorway to join the roster. The shoe is made entirely from leather materials throughout the upper and celebrates a school spirit with a dual tonal look.
Starting with orange as the base color, it makes up the laces, the collars, the quarters, and the toe box sections. It is then overlaid with accents of forest green that make their way onto the overlaying accents and the Swoosh along the midfoot sections. Traditional branding rounds out the shoe by the heels, the tongue banners, and the heel sections. It all sits on top of a crisp white base and green outsoles.
