The Nike Dunk Low has been issued in hundreds of colorways, but still looks fresh upon each new release. Following the highly anticipated Air Jordan 1 Low OG “UNC” PE, the Swoosh dresses the popular Dunk Low in a similar style by taking visual cues from the University of North Carolina, as well as the Memphis Grizzlies.Unlike the Jordan, the Dunk Low drops the use of black and opts for a deep navy color that dominates the accents, outsole, insole and laces, while a baby blue Swoosh brings the shoe together. Additional highlights include a full leather upper with a mesh tongue, including gold Nike branding on the heel. Interested in copping? The latest Dunk Low does not have an official name as of yet, but will be dropping on Nike and select retailers for $110 USD in the coming months.Elsewhere, we spoke with Cody Yunshen about the Off-White™ x Nike Air Force 1 “MCA” for Hypebeast’s Sole Mates.
