Nike's Newest Dunk Low Is Inspired by the Sands and Stones of Mars

Coming just after the sneaker giant unveiled the ‘Chlorophyll’ colorway, Nike’s newest Dunk Low colorway comes just in time for the autumn season, adopting the most popular shades and color combinations seen during this time of year. Inspired by the red sands of Mars, the new Nike Dunk Low ‘Mars Stone’ comes dipped in a ‘Cacao Wow,’ ‘Comet Blue,’ ‘Mars Stone,’ and ‘Phantom’ color scheme. The sneaker features a pair of chocolate brown laces, beige collars, a ‘Comet Blue’ Nike Swoosh, and a ‘Sail’ midsole. The sneakers are finished with a brown rubber outsole that ties together the neutral-toned look.

The Nike Dunk Low in ‘Mars Stone’ will launch in the coming weeks via Nike and select retailers for approximately $120 USD.
