Nike unveils the newest iteration of the Dunk Low sneaker model with the introduction of the quilted Wheat colorway to join the roster. The signature sneaker model details the upper with accents that are ready for the fall season.
Notably, there is the construction of leather throughout the shoe that is marked with a quilted pattern with a debossed detail that reads out "NIKE" throughout the shoe. It boasts a golden beige hue that takes on the name Wheat throughout the entire silhouette. This includes the Swooshes, the laces at the forefoot, the tongue, and the overlaying accents as well. The sneaker sits on top of a standard white midsole and a clear gum outsole foundation.
