Nike introduces a new tonal iteration of the classic Dunk Low sneaker model with the Rainbow Trout colorway palette to join its roster. This joins a previously launched silver iteration and the theme can be seen in the form of fishhooks that are detailing the Swooshes on the lateral side of the shoe.
The branding touches also nod to the colorful along the ripstop base foundation that is accented with a pattern similar to the reflective pattern seen on a rainbow trout. The yellow spots are made to match the scaly Swooshes, creating a unique shine. The upper is detailed with some rough suede materials to add some textural contrast -- this is done in forest green and paired with orange and pink patches.
