Nike Dunk Low Next Nature

The shimmering effects on this Nike Dunk Low Next Nature give it a pleasant luminosity. While these features appear on the upper, the sole unit is filled with hundreds of tiny specks that suggest the use of recycled materials. One of these is Nike Grind rubber, which has been added to the Blue Whisper outsole. This component retains its excellent grip capabilities through the familiar blend of ringed indentations in the forefoot and chunky blocks under the heel. Attached to the top of this sturdy base is a textured white midsole with stitches set into the groove encircling it.

The upper brings together a white underlayer of high-quality leather with overlays made of smooth Blue Whisper leather. The former is visible through the midfoot panels and toe box as well as in a sloping strip around the underside of the collar and the heel. In the front, the toe has been marked with lines of perforations for a well-ventilated foot, while encompassing the heel are parallel lines of stitching that lend it a carefully crafted aesthetic. Meanwhile, the light blue overlays, which are connected to the upper via precise dual lines of stitching, form a mudguard around the toe, a heel overlay that sweeps up to the top of the laces, and the eyestay.

More pale blue tones can be seen on the laces, which tie up over a white mesh tongue with a blue trim. This pastel hue extends to the mesh inner lining and the insole, which itself is adorned with Nike’s Move to Zero pinwheel logo in a darker blue known as Hyper Royal. Back on the outer, a glossy holographic material with lines of glimmering tones has been used on the heel panel, the tongue patch and the swooshes, bringing the sneaker a beautiful lustre, as well as the nickname Hologram. The piece on the tongue has capitalised Nike text alongside a swoosh, and the heel tab simply contains debossed Nike lettering. Meanwhile, a line of white stitching passes over the centre of the swoosh to add an intriguing detail to the flanks. When looked at from different angles, these eye-catching sections shift from blue through shades of turquoise and green, rounding out the design with a colourful sheen.
