Nike is expanding its varsity-inspired lineups for its low-top classics, this time giving a nod to the UCLA Bruins. The Nike Dunk Low receives the college-inspired colorway which also goes well for Golden State Warriors fans.The classic silhouette arrives in the classic blue jay, university gold and white color scheme and comes constructed in full leather. The traditional two-tone makeup can bee seen as the shoe’s base is dressed in university gold and the overlays and Swoosh label is highlighted in blue. The insole branding utilizes the same two-tone branding as the shoe sits atop a white midsole that breaks up the blue and yellow, before the blue rubber outsole that rounds out the designs. The shoe is slated to come with two sets of laces. Look out for the release of the Nike Dunk Low “UCLA” arriving on October 5 in select retailers and on Nike for $110 USD.In other footwear news, Jordan Jumpman Team 2 resurfaces in the OG “Chicago” colorway.
