Nike Dunk High

This classy Nike Dunk High is known as the Reverse Panda thanks to its inversion of the familiar black and white arrangement of the sneaker icon. In fact, Summit White is the primary tone across it, which is clear to see from the sole unit, which itself is completely covered in this colour. It is divided into an outsole marked with various grip patterns ranging from circular to star-shaped to linear, and a midsole with a soft foam wedge for comfortable underfoot padding.

Moving to the upper, the Summit White theme persists, firstly on the base layer of the midfoot panels and toe box, then through the overlays that have been placed over the forefoot, eyestay and heel. This last overlay covers much of the rear half of the shoe, stretching from the eyestay, where it shares two eyelets with this other piece of leather, all the way down to the midsole and around the back of the foot. It stops short of encompassing the entire heel, leaving the top portion open for the white underlayer to fill out. Decorating this section is a series of stitched lines that work their way up towards a pull tab and the tail ends of the black swooshes.

As these dark-coloured Nike logos arc across the sidewalls, they create the bold contrast seen on other Panda designs, as do the black laces that tie up over the white tongue. This tonal juxtaposition returns on the tongue label, whose white background hosts a set of Nike branding in black. The same dynamic effect appears inside the shoe, whose lining and insole are both Summit White, with a piece of black Nike lettering beside a swoosh on the insole concluding this refined Dunk High.
