The Nike Dunk Low "Red Panda" Delivers a Lesson in Colour-Blocking

Given the sheer mass of Dunk releases we've seen over the last few years, it can be hard to separate the cream from the crop. With that said, every once in a while, a colourway will come along and shake things up a bit, and a prime example of that is this week's "Red Panda" rendition.

We know you're likely thinking, "Not another panda," but believe us when we say this time, it's different. While not exactly reminiscent of its mammal counterpart, the "Red Panda" Dunk does adopt an array of materials and tints to complete its aesthetically pleasing look. Atop its basketball-inspired soles, the regular Dunk Low silhouette arrives dressed in both leather and suede.

The suede underlays sport a hairy and textured "Velvet Brown" tint, perfectly contrasting the "Sanddrift Rugged" hues found on both the overlays and Swoosh. Rear overlays, the heel tab, and the top of the tongue bring things together with an "Orange Campfire" shade.

Given the fact interest in Panda Dunks has grown over 188% in the past year, there's no doubt in our minds that Nike will look to replicate this success with its latest member of the family.
