Following the official reveal of various in-line colorways, Nike is giving the Dunk High silhouette a supple suede makeover. From the “Psychic Purple” colorway to the neutral “Lunar New Year” edition, the Swoosh label now enhances the sneaker in gloomy teal tones.

Nike dresses the high-top shoe in a traditional smooth leather base, sporting dim “Cyprus” panels that hit the perforated toe boxes, quarters, and collar areas. Rugged suede counteracts, setting a distinctive mark and running through the overlays with a somber identity. Swooshes extend onto the medials in the same murky hue, while tonal laces are set atop nylon tongues fashioned with branded badges.

The fall-ready release is rounded out with white midsoles and dark-colored rubber bottoms.

This rendition of the Nike Dunk High has yet to receive a release date, but expect the pair to arrive via Nike and select retailers in the coming months for $125 USD.

Elsewhere in footwear, CamperLab’s Eki takes a twisted approach to formal footwear.
