Nike Introduces the Dunk Low Sneaker in a CAU Colorway

— October 10, 2022 — Fashion
Nike continues to celebrate the many different universities across the nation and the latest to join the roster is the CAU colorway detailing the Dunk Low sneaker model. It is made in collaboration with CAU Athletics and celebrates Clark Atlanta University with the color palette of red, black, and white, which are the school's official colors.

The shoes are also details with the school's motto reading, "FIND A WAY OR MAKE ONE" that is seen across the laces. The panther logo is also seen stamped on top of the tongue and continues to the clear outsole unit. It also nods to Clark College which is merged with the University and embroidered with the founding year 1988 on the heel.
