As Halloween quickly approaches around the corner, the Nike SB Dunk Low celebrates by releasing a special Mummy design across the silhouette. The shoes give the iconic sneakers a mummy costume in time for the holiday season. It features off-white hues at the upper applied on canvas materials that are then given a distressed treatment to embody the look of a mummy.
The white canvas is paired with subtle stitching details in a zig-zag patterning. Soft blue details are seen in the form of the Swoosh over the lateral side of the shoe and the tongue label is marked with a bright green finished in a dripping font to stay in alignment with the overarching theme.
