As a result, the two dream up a pair of the Nike [SB Dunk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/university-blue-1) Low sneaker models with slightly edgy accents throughout the silhouette. The shoes start off with a crisp white base foundation of leather materials for a premium look and feel. It is joined by baby blue tones to add a tonal contrast to the rest of the shoe. The Swoosh branding emblem is detailed on the side of the silhouette in a light blue plaid pattern. This continues to the logo stamped at the heel unit and it is all secured with a pair of blue laces.
