Plush Bear-Inspired Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nike's Dunk Low Gets a New Playful Teddy Bear Colorway

— October 7, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nike introduced yet another tonal iteration of the Dunk Low sneaker model to join its roster with the new Teddy Bear colorway palette. The shoe was recently seen in a Pink Teddy Bear up date and this time around, it highlights a cozy brown tone throughout the silhouette.

It is made from a blend of materials including suede throughout the upper and then detailed with an off-white tonal branded Swoosh. Branding continues in the form of the Nike tag with themed stitching along the lateral side of the shoe. There is an outline of a teddy bear head that marks the medial side of the heel. Rounding out the look are the laces with blue and brown speckled detail.
