More about the upcoming Nike Dunk Low "Red Stardust" sneakers, which come clad in red and rugged orange hues
The Swoosh label debuted iconic Dunk Low sneaker model in 1985 as the veteran and legendary sneaker designer Peter Moore constructed one of the greatest hardwood basketball court shoes.
It has since become one of the most desired and popular sneaker models. The shoe gained mainstream popularity after the release of "Be True To Your School" series. The shoe was later closely associated with the collegiate fashion and became popular among youth. The official Swoosh label site introduces the sneaker pair by charting its glorious history.
“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. 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.”
The latest shoe to make an appearance is the Dunk Low "Red Stardust" sneakers, which leaves its basketball roots to embrace neutral hues.

Another hue is added into the mix with the rugged orange, on the tongue lining, sockliners, and the profile Swooshes on both medial and lateral sides.
The look is finished off with white midsoles and rugged orange rubber outsoles. The Dunk Low "Red Stardust" hue is slated to release during the Holidays 2023 via Nike, the SNKRS app, and select retailers. The shoe will be released exclusively in women's sizing for a retail price of $115.
