Nike Adds a Satin Touch to the Dunk Low “UNLV”
Reintroducing the popular colorway with an exquisite touch.
Continuing on its conquest to bring back old classics this year, Nike now turns its attention to the collegiate-inspired silhouettes for its next upcoming release.
Working on the “UNLV”, one-fourth of the original “Be True To Your School” Dunk High pack that debuted in 1985, Nike is set to once again revisit the legendary red-and-grey makeup on the Dunk Low. This rendition, however, comes with an exquisite twist—the classic colorway gets clothed entirely in satin.
Enter the Nike Dunk Low WMNS “UNLV Satin”. Giving rise to its title, yes it’s a Dunk Low “UNLV”, and yes, it is dressed in satin. In terms of colors, the latest Dunk Low offering looks exactly like its 2021 predecessor, wearing the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’ red and grey scheme proudly.
Replacing the Dunk’s traditional leather upper build is a fully clothed-out satin upper, which also sees the usual perforated toe box removed for a smoother, more luxurious finish. The eyestays and laces also receive upgrades to match the sleek satin fabric, giving the entire shoe an exquisite touch that’s fitting for the colorway’s history.
Though the release date for the Nike Dunk Low WMNS “UNLV Satin” has not been known, you can expect it to debut at Nike and select retailers in the coming months. Take an early look at the upcoming pair via the top slider above, courtesy of House of Heat.
