Unless you’ve been living under a rock over the past three years, you’re likely familiar with the Nike Dunk‘s most recent boom in popularity. And while Peter Moore’s 36-year-old design has been rehashed in handfuls of previously-seen styles, it’s also proffered new makeups. Case in point: The Nike Dunk High 1985.
While technically a replica of the silhouette’s original build, the recent trim delivers a much-needed refresher in the sea of low-top propositions. To reintroduce the inaugural shape to the market, NIKE, Inc. has covered the pair in a “Lemon Drop” and greyscale acid wash pattern that harkens back to ’85. Yellowed midsoles also contribute to the sneaker’s “aged” aesthetic, but perhaps the most notable difference between the upcoming drop and current offerings is the trim around the collar and heel. Lastly, the Dunk High-variant arrives packaged in a special, retro-inspired box.
Enjoy detailed images of the pair ahead, as you wait for shops to start releasing the shoes come August 20th overseas and on August 28th on SNKRS US.
