Nike Dunk High

This classy Nike Dunk High comes in a dichromatic colourway known as Panda that has become a highly desirable design. A two-tone sole unit starts things off underfoot, its grippy outsole covered in a mixture of traction patterns that includes concentric circles below the forefoot and lugs under the heel. All of this provides excellent stability, while the white midsole has been infused with foam throughout for a comfortably soft step.

On the upper, durable black leather panels in the forefoot, heel and eyestay lie atop a layer of white leather that can be seen in the toe box, midfoot panels and collar. While the first of these features brings breathability with its fan of ventilation holes, the second acts as the ideal canvas for the black leather swooshes to land upon, and the third serves to protect the ankle. This last section puts white around the top part of the heel as well, before the topline and inner switch to black again. The only exceptions to this dark tone on the inside of the shoe is the white Nike text and swoosh that reside upon the insole.

Back on the outer, a black leather pull tab has been positioned in the centre of the heel, where it forms the central point from which the swooshes can emerge before beginning their journey along the shoe’s sidewalls. Across the middle of each of these logos is a line of white stitching, which forges a delicate contrast, and more intricate stitched effects appear around them on the rear overlays. At the top, this last feature shares some eyelets with the eyestay. Black laces pass through these and the rest of the eyelets to form a criss-cross pattern over the top of the white tongue. At its peak, a white label embroidered with University Red Nike branding adds a final colourful flourish to this iconic sneaker design.
