Nike continues to favor putting the spotlight on the SB Dunk Low, however, that hasn’t stopped the brand from continuing its steady flow of Dunk Low colorways as well. Recently, looks on the Dunk Low have included a “Bacon”-flavored presentation and an NBA-themed pair that nods to Paris. Now, “Red Stardust” hits the silhouette after previously gracing the Air Alpha Force 88 and Air Max 1.Kicking things off, the canvas base utilizes a striped texture with a soft “Sanddrift” coating it at the toe box, midfoot and heel. From there, its signature “Red Stardust” dresses the nubuck overlays that go from the mudguard to the heel counter — matching the shoe’s lining and rubber outsole. Rounding out the pair, a “Summit White” touches down on the leather Swooshes and heel tab while also adorning the stitched midsole.Stay tuned for release details as Nike has yet to share any regarding this “Red Stardust” version of the Dunk Low. Currently, we expect it to land on shelves this fall via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a price of $125 USD.Looking for more of the latest news from the footwear space?
