Floral patterns and decorations are not new to sneakers. It’s not often, however, that they’re dressed in this manner.
This upcoming Nike Dunk Low shows its love of red roses with a completely re-crafted upper that features a defined pattern embossed onto the leather. Instead of applying a textile or an embroidery as we’ve seen on releases in the past, Nike instead reshapes the heel panel to fit the jutting petals and leaves that hang off the stem of the flower. The same treatment exists on the medial side at the forefoot to make way for a the lush rose. The flower blooms elsewhere at the toe-guard and on the inner heel just under the Swoosh.
Otherwise, this Dunk Low has a standard composition; a light khaki suede base layer is topped off by that sultry red shade on the exterior leather, completing one of the more eccentric and likely sought-after Dunks of the year.
Although a release date is currently unknown, it’s possible that these will be a release around the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday next February 2025.
