The Nike Dunk Low “Cosmic Clay” is set to make waves, offering a fresh take on the classic skate model that has captured the hearts of footwear enthusiasts worldwide. While the “Dunk craze” may have slightly subsided, the demand for this iconic silhouette remains strong, and the “Cosmic Clay” colorway proves that even subtle changes can make a significant impact.
What sets the “Cosmic Clay” apart from previous iterations is the attention to detail in the margins. A mini Swoosh, reminiscent of the one featured on the Nike Dunk Low “Neapolitan” from February, graces the forefoot, adding a touch of uniqueness to the design. Although the color palette may draw comparisons to the “Orange Blaze” or “Syracuse” releases, the “Cosmic Clay” takes a different approach by utilizing various shades of eggshell and beige on the underlying leather panels and midsole, creating an aged and vintage aesthetic.
The use of these muted tones gives the “Cosmic Clay” a distinct character, setting it apart from the countless colorways that have come before. The decision to move away from the traditional pure white base and embrace these earthy hues demonstrates Nike’s commitment to pushing the boundaries and keeping things interesting in the world of Dunks.
To further enhance the overall look, the outsole of the “Cosmic Clay” features a striking burgundy color, providing a valuable contrast to the subdued upper. This bold choice adds depth and dimension to the shoe, ensuring that it stands out from the crowd while still maintaining its classic Dunk DNA.
As part of Nike’s highly anticipated Summer slate, the Nike Dunk Low “Cosmic Clay” is expected to drop on Nike.com, at a retail price of $115.
