The swoosh label has been promoting its iconic Dunk Low silhouette as it has recently released the Syracuse and Kentucky colorways. The label has also collaborated with long-time partner Undefeated. The basketball-turned-lifestyle sneakers has been around for over 30 years, and maintained its position as a favorite amongst sneakerheads.
The label has been in the habit of releasing new colorways and restocks of the silhouette in multiple designs, each of which are more eye-catching than the previous. The official site of the swoosh label describes the origin of the Dunk silhouette as,
“Uncovering a subculture craving creativity as much as function, Dunk released decades of countless colorways that continue to capture the soul of skaters from coast to coast.”
As the fall season is setting in, Nike has made its point to manufacture fresh colorways that align with the seasonal transitions. While many have the idea that bold colors aren't what Fall Winter seasons embody, Nike is trying something novel.
The latest Dunk Low makeover comes clad in Canyon Rust / Valerian Blue / Summit White color palettes. The uppers of the sneakers are constructed out of leather and is clad in warmer tones such as Valerian Blue base, which is accentuated upon the mesh tongues, quarter panels, vamp, and collars.
The second hue, Canyon Rust, makes its way upon the overlays, toe boxes, sockliners, heel tabs, and the matching laces. Another hue, Summer White, is added into the mix to spruce up the palette and is accentuated over the branding details, such as Swoosh logos on both lateral and medial sides, tongue tags, and the "Nike" lettering on the heels.
The look is rounded out with the soft white Dunk midsoles and the Valerian Blue rubber outsoles.
Release information for the Nike Dunk Low Canyon Rust Valerian Blue sneakers hasn't been revealed by the swoosh label yet, however according to the media outlet Hypebeast, the pair will be released in the coming months.
Other rumors suggest that the pair will be released in 2023 on the official e-commerce site of Nike, SNKRS app, and select online and offline retailers. The pair is likely to be released at a retail price of $110.
