Nike has once again raised the bar in sneaker innovation with its latest offering – the Dunk Low Next Nature “Navy Gold” DD1873-401. The upper is crafted from a high-quality synthetic leather, providing a balance of durability and breathability. This is further enhanced by strategically placed toe box perforations, ensuring a comfortable wearing experience. The mesh tongue and inner lining add to the overall breathability, making it a perfect fit for everyday wear.
The colour scheme of the Dunk Low Next Nature “Navy Gold” is a tasteful combination of “Midnight Navy” and “Team Gold.” The deep navy overlays offer a stark, yet harmonious contrast to the golden hues of the base layer and tongue. The smooth leather base, along with the tongue, is adorned in a non-metallic “Team Gold,” which adds a subtle vibrancy to the design.
The “Midnight Navy” extends to the laces, inner lining, and the durable rubber outsole, creating a cohesive look. The two-toned ensemble is beautifully offset by white accents, seen in the profile swoosh, tongue tab, and midsole. This colourless complement not only adds a clean contrast but also elevates the sneaker’s overall appeal.
In terms of performance, the Nike Dunk Low Next Nature doesn’t disappoint. The rubber outsole features the classic hoops pivot circle, providing excellent traction and maintaining the heritage style. The crisp leather upper, with a slight sheen, promises to age gracefully to soft perfection, symbolizing the blend of style and durability. The durable synthetic overlays are a throwback to ’80s basketball, offering both support and a vintage feel.
