One currently in the pipeline, the &#8220;Athletic Department&#8221; pack, centers around a vintage aesthetic paying homage to olden college athletics. Thus far subsumed is an <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2023\/04\/19\/the-nike-air-max-1-is-the-latest-faculty-member-of-its-athletic-dept\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Air Max 1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2023\/01\/16\/the-nike-p-6000-joins-the-athletic-department\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">P-6000<\/a>, with this new makeup joining another <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2023\/01\/06\/nike-dunk-low-85-athletic-company-is-aged-on-purpose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dunk Low<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar color-blocking to its bright red predecessor, this reiteration gives its nubuck overlays a familiar greyscale appearance while adding a worn look to the midsole and &#8220;Coconut Milk&#8221;-dipped laces. The silhouette lightens the overall look with a clean white base and adopts North Carolina&#8217;s &#8220;University Blue&#8221; hue to highlight its collar, tongue trim, heel tab, mid-foot Swoosh, and tread underneath, while complementing the golden Nike embroidery and achromatic &#8220;Athletic Department&#8221; branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Information is scant at the moment but with these official images emerging, there&#8217;s reason to believe more about the pair will come to light.
