# Earthy Leather Hi-Top Sneakers Nike Unveils the Moon Fossil Colorway on the Dunk High Sneakers By Amy Duong | Published 2021-10-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-fossil References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2021/10/nike-dunk-high-moon-fossil-dd1869-002-release-info) Nike continues to add new tonal palettes across the signature Dunk High sneaker model, with the latest one being the Moon Fossil iteration. It launches for the Fall/Winter 2021 season with a black base foundation applied with leather materials. It makes up the toe boxes, the ankle collars, and the quarter paneling. It is then contrasted with a mushroom brown hue that makes its way on the mudguards along to the eye stays, the heel overlaying details, and the main Swoosh branding accent on the lateral side of the shoe. It continues on to the laces and branding on the tongue section. The mesh interior allows breathability and is finished in the same mushroom brown hue.
