Nike has continued to tap into the all-time high demand for the Dunk with various reworks of the Dunk High and Dunk Low. However, the Dunk High 1985 has remained a less visited option in the Dunk family. Earlier this year, Jun Takahashi’s UNDERCOVER approached the silhouette with its “Chaos/Balance” theme hitting two colorways. Since then, a “Pink Denim” has surfaced that complements this upcoming “Blue Denim” look.

Similar to the previously revealed “Pink Denim,” a white leather base returns alongside a vintage cream midsole. A light blue denim hits the overlays with darker blue contrast stitching. This continues at the Swooshes while the outsole carries a similar shade of light blue, completing the look.

A release date for the Nike Dunk High 1985 “Blue Denim” has not yet been shared. However, the pair is expected to be available via Nike and select retailers at a price of $130 USD soon, likely alongside the matching “Pink Denim” colorway.

In other footwear news, the Swoosh continues to tap into the University of North Carolina’s iconic white and blue with a new Air Max Terrascape Plus on the way.
