Nike gives a croc skin design update to one of its most iconic sneaker silhouettes - the Dunk Low is adorned with the textural overlays in a dark tonal palette for the season. This gives the skate sneaker an elevated feel as the upper half is detailed in muted tones and solid black makes up the leather toe boxes, the quarters, followed by the shoelaces and collars as well.
The forefoot and heels are marked with textural overlays as the Swoosh on the lateral side of the shoe also boasts the same texture. The croc skin material is dyed in a Velvet Brown hue for a sophisticated look and the heels boast more branding with a debossed Nike.
