Nike introduces another tonal iteration of the classic Dunk Low sneaker model for the season with the Team Red colorway palette. The signature shoes are designed in a dual-tonal look and are marked with vintage-themed accents throughout.
It starts off with Coconut Milk that makes up the underlays and then continues to the perforated toe boxes, the ankle sections, and the medial side of the shoe. Aged burgundy is then added to the panels to add some stark tonal contrast along the premium leather overlays. The laces over the forefoot are detailed with a creamy hint to nod to a vintage look. Rounding out the shoe is custom Nike branding embroidered on the tongue and heel tabs.
