While most of the other vulc-soled styles from Nike Skateboarding with the ‘LR’ suffix are straightforward in their use of LunarLon cushioning, the Dunk seems to have shifted back to the Zoom that made SBs so comfy. So while the Nike Dunk Purchase LR now has a slightly confusing name, a classic colorway like this bred edition is a can’t miss. Before patterned prints rose to dominate the sneaker world over the past couple years, Nike Sportswear made fairly extensive use of polka dots on the Dunk family. This activity peaked from 2008-10 and hasn’t been much of a factor as the animals and florals of the world rose to prominence of late, but today we see two new Nike Dunk Low GS designs with a multicolored dot anchor. With red, yellow and two shades of blue colored microdots on black or white leather bases, these manage a skillful balance of eye-catching and fundamental, and you can see more.
The Nike Dunk Order LR has kept a profile since last holiday’s Zumiez-exclusive ‘Thermo’ edition, and it picks a great time to return with one of the spring’s hottest colors. Count the vulc-soled Dunk Low among this season’s uses of Crystal Mint, the highly wearable soft green shade that has a ‘Tiffany’ lean whenever paired with black as in the case of this pair’s Swoosh and heel tab. The black color changes into a clean royal blue at the sensation of heat, sorta like those Hypercolor t-shirts from the 1990’s that were all the rage. Nike Skateboarding’s got some goodies in store for us this Black Friday; in addition to the teasing previews of the CNCPTS x Nike SB collaboration, the Nike Dunk Low LR will arrive in a tonal-black colorway with thermochromic technology, changing from black to royal blue when heat is applied to the material (that blue ‘stain’ on the heel is a thumb-print). These are said to be exclusive to mall retailers Zumiez with a possible release also at CCS.
Sneaker News just mentioned that the Nike Dunk Glow Buy Onlinefor kids is one of NSW’s longest running Chinese New Year traditions, and now we see that next year’s iteration has at least two different styles on tap. This second ‘Year of the Snake’ Dunk Low GS features fewer scales than its white/black counterpart, but the mix of silver and gold tones on this one might actually be a bit more eye-catching overall.Aside from the Air Force 1 tradition, the Dunk Low for kids has been Nike Sportswear’s longest running Chinese New Year tribute design, featuring four special edition designs in a row starting with 09’s Ox edition. Make that five, now that we see what’s at least one Nike Dunk Low GS ‘Year of the Snake’ design, featuring the simple black/white look that figures to have its popularity carry over once more into 2017.
Should we take this as foreshadowing that the most recent Nike Dunk Black Deals previewed here on Sneaker News is about to arrive at Nike Sportswear retailers? This new pair featuring the same materials and blocking pattern suggests the answer is yes as its combination of black and greys with red branding serves as a more aggressive alternative to that cooler design we previewed a couple weeks back.Out for just about half a year now, the Nike Dunk Low LR has succeeded with its mix of vulcanized sole and LunarLon cushioning on a range of fairly simple colorways. This one is the ‘-est’ of that list, then, its black and white build offering so little in the way of vibrancy that Neutral Grey on the foxing and sockliner constitutes the ‘accent’ shade.
When the new lasering technique hit the scene, Mark Smith and Nike did what any young child does with a new toy – they went HAM. Using the funky method to create the designs of the shoe, Mark Smith’s art direction led him to an entirely seamless concept while opting for a completely laser-etched upper to create the frame of the classics Air Force 1 Low (which we all know resulted in one of the greatest Air Force 1 Lows of all-time and one of our first Classics Revisited features ever). Mark present pro surfer and artist Chris Lundy with the opportunity to do the same with the Dunk Low, but instead of working within the constraints of the Nike Dunk White Discountdesigns, Lundy took advantage of the smooth upper and went with a completely surf-inspired theme that he’s used in his artwork, with crashing ocean waves being the primary design concept of the shoe. Just 200 pairs of this version released to the public, although a much wider release of a variation (black midsole, gum outsole) did become available with a special edition box.
