The Dunk sneaker model is one of the original team shoe by the swoosh label. The shoe was originally released in multiple colorways to match the color scheme of some of the top Universities across the country, including Michigan and Kentucky.

The Dunk sneaker model has gained a cult following and has become a staple in the footwear industry, from skateboarding to lifestyle. The shoe was originally released in 1985 and struck deals with multiple universities, including Michigan, Georgetown, Iowa, Kentucky, St. John's, UNLV and Syracuse.

The Dunk became their official shoe, and each shoe featured a distinct color blocking in two-toned schemes. The deal became a base point of the popularity it has currently. Now the swoosh label is introducing a reimagined version of the Dunk "Syracuse" over the low-cut iteration.

The upcoming sneakers come clad in a two-toned color scheme featuring Sail and Syracuse Orange. The shoe's upper comes constructed out of cracked leather material. The tumbled leather makes up the Sail underlays of the sneaker, which is affixed on the perforated toe boxes, mid-panels and mesh tongues.

The base layer contrasts with the cracked leather orange overlays, which are placed on the forefoot, lacing system, heel tabs, ankle collars and heel counters. The hue is added on the plain cotton laces, mesh lining and profile swooshes on both medial and lateral sides.

Branding details are added with the orange-hued cracked tongue tags and heel tabs featuring white "Nike" lettering. Additional details are added with the cracked-print detailing on the orange-hued insoles.

The look is finished off with sail midsoles and semi-translucent orange rubber outsoles. The translucent outsoles are given a pre-loved aesthetic with an algae-type spot.

The Dunk Low "Reimagined Syracuse," also known as Cracked Leather Syracuse, is rumored to release via the e-commerce site of Nike, SNKRS app and select retailers in 2023 for a retail price of $120.
