Nike's Dunk Low Sneaker Gets a Proud UCLA Colorway

— September 23, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nike introduces another tonal iteration of the signature Dunk Low sneaker model with the launch of the UCLA colorway palette. The sportswear giant has been celebrating different colleges and this is the latest varsity version. It is detailed with classic blue jay and accented with hues of white and university gold.

The construction highlights leather materials throughout the upper. The dual tonal starts with university gold making up the base foundation of the shoe. The Swoosh branding and overlaying details follow in the blue jay hue. The insole is also detailed with dual tonal branding and it all sits on top of a white midsole to add some tonal contrast before being rounded out by the blue rubber outsole.
