Nike introduces a new tonal update that is seen detailing its signature Dunk Low sneaker model -- this time around, it features a teal and navy colorway palette. The lifestyle sneaker model is made from premium leather materials and differentiated by the overlaying and underlying textures.
The overlaying material delivers a tumbled leather look and it matches the Swoosh, the laces, and the interior lining tonally. The quarter panels, tongues, collars, and toe boxes are detailed in a smoother leather and accented in a muted teal color. Branding can be seen at the usual placements including the insoles, heels, and the tongue section. All of this rests on top of a clean midsole and black treaded outsole.
