Sportswear giant [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sundial-colorway) introduces another tonal palette that decorates the iconic [Dunk Low sneaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-sneaker-6) model with a familiar update -- the [Reverse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse-happy-hour) UNC colorway adorns the shoe with bright hits of white and blue. It turns the University Blue pair in a reversed design language throughout the upper.

It has the standard leather construction as the UNC blue makes up the base foundation and is further accented with white overlaying details and laces to round out the whole look. Navy blue can be seen detailing parts of the tongue and the heel branding to add a touch of contrast as it all sits on top of a white midsole foundation and a UNC blue outsole.
