Nike SB introduces another tonal iteration of the Dunk Low sneaker model with the new Dodgers colorway to join the roster, continuing to build upon the brand's MLB themes. The range has spotlighted teams such as the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants so far, and now the Los Angeles Dodgers as well.
The color palette nods to the team as it is marked with blue and white accents throughout the base layer of the shoe. The white accents the quarters, tongue, collars, interior lining, and the toe box. The blue comes through as a touch of contrast at the lateral side of the shoe, making up the Swoosh branding detail and the buttery suede overlaying on top.
