Nike released the 'Dunk Low Grinch' as part of the lifestyle brand's continued partnership with the 'Cactus Plant Flea Market.' This sneaker features an over-the-top, unconventional design that draws significant inspiration from The Grinch, the popular Christmas villain created by Dr. Seuss.
The majority of the sneaker, including the upper, eyestay, heel, and toe vamp, are covered in Grinch-like fur. This means the shoe is covered in long strands of knotty, stringy green fur that looks unconventional and unique. The tongue of the shoe features the CPFM branding, and the insole pays homage to The Grinch and Nike. The midsole and lower-heel of the Grinch-like footwear resemble potting soil, almost as though the fur is growing out of a plant pot.
The unique Dunk Low Grinch can be ordered online from Cactus Plant Flea Market when it releases in the coming weeks.
