Dunk pa More!

Have you had enough of Dunk for this year? Still craving for more? Official Nike product images of two new “Acid Wash” styles of the Dunk High 1985 had surfaced. Based on the name, an acid wash graphic covers the overlay panels of the uppers with one pair donning a sail-based color scheme and the other comes predominantly in red. Those colors are real. They've just received an acid-wash-like treatment on the overlays. Both styles maintain the original Dunk High shape from ‘85 as seen with the ankle collar and vintage-inspired silhouette.

Each pair will come packaged in OG-styled boxes for nostalgia.
