Nike gives its iconic Dunk High sneaker model a Wolf Grey tonal update as a celebration of its Be True to Your School pack that was originally launched back in 1985. This evokes a retro feel this season as it nods to its archival historic capsule.
The panels along the shoe are detailed in a blend of neutral hues as there is crinkled leather for texture all throughout the toe box, the collars, and the quarters. The Wolf Grey hue makes its way to the overlaying details with an angelic Swoosh log for branding. Touches of cream are seen at the midsole foundation and the lacing system for a vintage feel and nods to the overarching theme.
