In its very own tribute to the fall season, the Swoosh label has now come up with the Dunk Low "Leaf Veins." This most recent incarnation of the model extends beyond the often visible warm hues and flamboyant designs and instead settles into a subtle embrace of nature's unique characteristics, notably the delicate veins that can be seen on leaves.

The spreading leaf vein image that is concealed within the insoles of the shoes perfectly encapsulates the spirit of autumn. This graphic serves as the centerpiece and lends an extra element of storytelling to the layout.

The shoe opts for a muted color scheme, which contributes to its overall understated appearance. It has a ripstop foundation that is colored "Off-White," and it is accented with suede toppings that are colored a shade or two darker than the foundation layer. This sophisticated, multi-sensory interaction conjures up the look, smell, and sensation of fallen foliage, thereby recreating the intricately textured environment of the season.

Elements of "Olive" can be spotted on the shoe's tongue flaps and heel tabs. The characteristic side Swooshes and the unique insoles are further enhanced with olive green accents.

The arrangement is finished off with an inconspicuous cream-colored sole unit, which works well with the shoe's earthy, fall-inspired color scheme. It is a demonstration of restraint in design and a tribute to individuals who value the finer nuances that may be found in style as well as in the natural world.

The 38-year-old Peter Moore's sneaker design and its rich history are highlighted in the following words on the shoe company's web page,

“From backboards to skateboards, the influence of the Nike Dunk is undeniable. Although introduced as a basketball shoe in 1985, its flat and grippy soles were perfect for a neglected sports community—skaters.”

It adds:

“Uncovering a subculture craving creativity as much as function, the Dunk released decades of countless colorways that continue to capture the soul of skaters from coast to coast.”

Don't skip on the opportunity to buy the new Dunk Low "Leaf Veins" sneakers that look great with your fall wardrobe and provide the comfort and quality for which the Swoosh label is known.
