Nike Turns Back Time With the Dunk High Retro "Re-Raw"

The Nike Dunk is arguably the king of the sneaker kingdom, and keen to keep this momentum up, the Swoosh brand has taken the shoe back a few decades with the unveiling of its “Re-Raw” iteration. While the pair was previewed back in December last year, the pair is now ready for its global release, officially debuting the unique Nike Dunk High Retro “Re-Raw” in “Coriander/Medium Olive/Sail/Team Red.”

Comprising of a cracked white leather base that’s overlayed with panels of fuzzy tan-hued suede and a Swoosh emblem cutting through the mid-sections in “Medium Olive,” the overall aesthetic is reminiscent of a pair that’s seeking some love. However, the clever application of clean elements all around the shoe also brings this pair back to life.

For example, the tongue tag is split between black and tan tones, while laces are served up in a bolder “Sail” hue than usual. Muted “Team Red” has been added to the collar and interior, while tan and brown work the midsole and sole unit respectively — as a result, giving the shoe a vintage feel while also neatly offsetting the distressed uppers.

Nike’s Dunk High Retro “Re-Raw” can be seen above and is expected to release at retailers such as Asphalt Gold on February 18.
