Nike introduces another tonal iteration of its iconic Dunk High sneaker model for the season with the latest [Mocha](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-day-desserts) colorway updating the high-top silhouette. The understated sneaker palette kicks off with earthy tones all throughout the shoe as the base layer is made up of bright beige materials.

It can be seen by the leather toe boxes, the collar sections, and the quarter panels. Bright white accents make their way onto the sneaker by the laces and the Swoosh branding on the lateral side of the shoe. Additional branding can be seen by the [Nike Sportswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-abominable-snowman) mark on the tongues and inserts. It sits on top of a white midsole and [Mocha outsole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suede-mocha) foundation to round it all out.
