Nike has announced the launch of a new Dunk Low silhouette in an eye-popping, multi-patterned colorway called 'Safari Mix.' In addition to combining patterns, the shoes blend a variety of materials to create a mash-up style that recalls Nike's Dunk Low Scrap, which was released in 2021.
The sneaker's mudguards and heels are dressed in leopard print, while Nike's signature 'Safari' pattern is found on its forefront overlays. Meanwhile, a fake fur material dyed in Dark Violet and Sea Green has been added to the sneakers collars. In addition, the shoe's iconic Swooshes arrive in mismatched hues atop a suede construction. Finally, this eclectic mix of tones and materials rests atop a white midsole and black rubber outsole, adding balance to the visually striking silhouette.
