The [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympics-colorway) Dunk Low Premium is a Nike [Starbucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heavenly-peach-frappuccino-fragrance) hybrid design that incorporates rich swirls of coffee in its pattern.

The shoes are similar to the previously released [Nike SB Dunk Low Woodgrain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sb-dunk-low-3) -- which have a forest-themed print. Like the Woodgrain, the Premium has the same deep green that marks the tongue of the shoe and accents the Nike logo on the side, as well as the shoe's bottom.

The Premium is different for its deeper use of brown earthy tones and the whimsical twirls of coffee that liken it to the addictive chain. The emerald green that makes the shoes stand out match that of the Starbucks logo as well, making the Nike Dunk Low Premium a true marriage of the Nike and Starbucks brands.
