Bagel-Themed Sneaker Styles

The Nike Dunk Low 'Montreal Bagel' Sneakers are Sesame Seed-Covered

The Nike Dunk Low 'Montreal Bagel' sneakers have been released as a decidedly fresh footwear style perfect for collectors and avid fans of the namesake baked good alike to pick up.

The sneakers are constructed with a low profile that appears light brown from afar, but reveals a sesame seed bagel-inspired form when taking a closer look. The sneakers are accented by Royal Blue markings that pay homage to the Quebec flag, while wood print symbolizes wood-burning ovens where the aforementioned bagels are prepared in bakeries each day.

The Nike Dunk Low 'Montreal Bagel' sneakers are finished with laces and tongue labels that are observed in a creamy white finish as an homage to cream cheese; the perfect topping for any bagel.
