The Nike Dunk Low "Rooted in Peace" Pays Tribute to Japanese Gardening Traditions

After Nike revived their legendary Dunk silhouette in 2019, the basketball-turned-lifestyle sneaks have become popular more than it has ever been before with limited edition colourways, high profile collaborations and celebrity endorsements being responsible for this. If you're up to date with the latest footwear news with us here at The Sole Supplier, we have no doubts that you'd know that the Beaverton sportswear giant has long been recognised for its love of Japanese culture. Following the release of the Nike Air Max 90 "Fried Chicken" and Nike Air Max 97 "Energy Jelly", both housing themes that mimic Japanese convenience store nourishments, it's now time for the Dunks to step up in a new form dubbed the Nike Dunk Low "Rooted In Peace" which draws inspiration from the art of Japanese gardening.

Working on a low-top profile that will never go out of fashion, this brand-new Nike Dunk Low variant sees a stunning black-tainted denim base wrapped with plush suede panels in light tan hues, altogether bringing a contrasting yet peaceful look.

Elsewhere, Nike's instantly recognisable Swoosh glides across the lateral and medial sidewalls and elegantly reunites at the heel where further branding imprints appear in a "Jade Green" colourway. Of course, you can't talk about the Nike Dunks without mentioning the full-length midsole underfoot which ensures comfort and cushioning is optimised for extended periods of wear, then lined with a translucent orange rubber outsole for additional traction. The ensemble is rounded off with a peace sign debossed on the heel region and Sashiko-reminiscent embroidery in white on the midfoot regions as well as the collar, very much like the Nike SB Dunk Low Denim "Sashiko" from 2020.

The Nike Dunk Low "Rooted In Peace" undeniably holds grail status for many sneakerheads and Japanese culture lovers alike.
