Nike introduces a new tonal palette of the Dunk High sneaker model in the form of Crimson Tint just in time for the warmer seasons of the year. The shoe boasts two hues throughout and has been seen before on the Orange Pearl tonal palette.
This time around, the shoe has a higher cut for a larger silhouette with no colors making up the toe boxes, the quarters, or the ankle collars. This allows the shoe to have an understated design palette with bright details to contrast elsewhere. This can be seen at the Swoosh on the side, the laces, and overlays. Notably, the midsoles are also done in white complete with a Crimson Tint outsole foundation to round it all out.
