The [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sb-dunk-low-3) Dunk High Premium Maraham Black is one of the latest sneakers from the brand that has caught many people's eyes.

The design on the Nike Dunk High Premium Maraham Black is what you would expect from the company in this model: high-top with cut-outs to add some layer to the shoe. Aside from that, what I love about this version is the [leather and horsehair material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harris-tweed-1) from Maraham -- a company specializing in textile manufacturing. The contrast of the black upper and leather cut-outs truly makes the shoe shine as one suave footwear that’s elegant and badass at the same time. I suggest looking for these bad boys if you’re in the market for new kicks.
