Nike Dunk Low
"Valerian Blue"
DD1391-400
The heritage color-blocking on these Nike Dunk Low sneakers makes them undeniably stylish. The design begins on the sole unit, which is constructed from a white midsole and a rubber outsole in Valerian Blue that incorporates a range of grippy formations for sturdy support. The midsole then provides plenty of comfort through the use of foam cushioning, and its exterior is marked with a stitched groove that brings an eye-catching aesthetic to the shoe.
Meanwhile, the upper has been crafted from pieces of high-quality leather, with white sections across the toe box and the midfoot panels contrasting against the Valerian Blue overlays around the forefoot, heel and eyestay. Lines of perforations fan out over the front of the foot so that everything is well aerated, and white laces tie things up atop the soft white tongue. At the top of this feature is a white patch with bright University Red Nike branding sewn into it. This satisfying tone reappears on the sneaker’s other branding effects, including the Nike text on the Valerian Blue insole and the same lettering which has been embroidered into the heel panel, though without a swoosh beside it.
The heel panel itself is Valerian Blue, as are the swooshes that reach from underneath it to adorn the shoe’s sidewalls. Set in between these sections and the curved edge of the rear overlay are several lines of white stitching that further add to the high-class look of this model. In fact, the intricate stitching that runs along the borders of each leather panel provides the finishing touch to the classic appearance of this Dunk Low.
