CLOT Details the Nike Dunk Low Sneakers with Cork Details

— June 12, 2023 — Fashion
Fashion imprint CLOT celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and has been launching a slew of progressive new looks to honor the milestone including another pair of the Nike Dunk Low sneakers. The brand adds cork detailing to the silhouette and it was unveiled by CLOT co-founder Edison Chen on Instagram.

The material is seen making up most of the upper's silhouette complete with interchangeable Swoosh branding emblems on the side of the shoe. This way, fans are able to "style the Swoosh like it's yours" as noted by Chen. Currently, the removable Swoosh motifs are offered in the tonal options of red, metallic silver, teal blue, or snakeskin. It wraps itself around the cork sneakers for a dynamic look. Rounding out the shoe are two lace options of white or a worker-boot style for more customization.
