The ever-popular Nike Dunk Low continues to expand its reach, offering exciting design choices beyond its core audience. While this upcoming “White/Blue/Red Mesh” iteration releases in grade school sizing, its design elements nod to a bygone era sure to resonate with parents.
Embroidered “Nike” and “1972” tags on the forefoot, a logo replacing the brand name on the heel tag, and throwback insoles transport the wearer back to a simpler time. Adding to the nostalgic charm, the tongue features a full mesh makeover with a bubble-encased Nike logo at the top. These details evoke the heyday of Eastbay catalogs and maximalist sportswear design that dominated the 1990s, cleverly updated for a 2024 audience.
The color palette, featuring pops of navy, red, and white, might spark comparisons to American themes. However, the addition of teal and powder blue suede overlays prevents it from being a straightforward tribute. Overall, the color scheme remains familiar yet vibrant, perfectly suited for younger sneaker enthusiasts.
Release details for the Nike Dunk Low GS “White/Blue/Red Mesh” are still under wraps. However, expect them to hit retailers and Nike.com sometime in the next month, priced between $90 and $110.
