Nike introduces a new design iteration of the iconic Dunk Low sneaker model with the launch of the Snakeskin colorway to its lineup. The silhouette is defined by its reptilian texture that can be seen at the base foundation and this is further decorated with a suede tan material making up its overlays.
The Swoosh branding emblem is applied with a canvas material and accents the panel. More branding is found at the insoles and tongue tag, continued at the Nike heel logo in a debossed application. The silhouette rests on top of a white midsole base and a tan tonal outsole. The tan laces match the palette and round out the cohesive sneaker model.
