The Nike Dunk Low Receives a Luxe-Looking Makeover

Arguably one of the biggest lifestyle silhouettes right now, the Nike Dunk has come a long way from its humble roots as a basketball shoe. And with so many colours to choose from, there’s a Dunk for every mood, personality and individual. Whilst the shoe often embraces a retro-looking two-tone vibe, this pair takes on a much more formal-looking colour scheme. Dressed in luxe fabrics and a smart colour scheme, the Dunk Low “Velvet Brown Black” is here to give any other smart shoe a run for its money, so let’s take a closer look.

Whilst this new “Velvet Brown Black” Dunk Low doesn’t appear too brown or velvety on first look, a closer peek at the sneaker reveals the logic behind the name. There is in fact no velvet – instead, the pair’s overlays and Nike Swoosh come dressed in crocodile-style embossed leathers in a “Velvet Brown” tone for a premium touch. Beneath this, a smooth black leather provides the perfect neutral base.

Whilst the Dunk silhouette usually features prominent heel branding, the “Velvet Brown Black” Dunk takes on a much more muted approach, opting for simple brown croc-effect heel tabs. Instead, Nike branding appears in the form of a gold debossed wordmark on the lateral heels. The Dunk Low’s “Velvet Brown Black” colourway comes finished with black laces, and a gum midsole rounds everything off.

There’s no confirmed release date for the “Velvet Brown Black” Nike Dunk Low yet, but the pair are expected to drop over the coming weeks. In the meantime, hit the purple button to set your release reminder, and keep it locked to stay up to date with all the latest sneaker news.
