For the latest series of Nike Dunk Low’s, the Swoosh recently partnered up with the US’ Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) on a number of limited releases, including a special North Carolina A&T colorway. Nike has followed up with an eye-catching Tennessee State University iteration that will have current and former students screaming their tiger pride.

The sneaker flaunts a smooth black leather base, with crimson and royal hues to complement the quarter, mudguard and heel. Additional highlights include neutral white along the Swoosh and laces, as well as a mustard tongue and heel tab with TSU’s insignia on the former and the school’s founding year on the latter.

The Nike Dunk Low “TSU” will also feature the school’s mantras, “Think Work Serve” and “TIGER PRIDE”, on the insole and come equipped with alternate tiger stripe laces. Expect the shoe to drop in the coming months for $120 USD on Nike.
