What does it look like?
The sneaker comes in a white leather upper, with red leather overlays across the sneaker. The
laces come in black, and the midsole is dressed in sail. However, the twist comes in the form
of a âsplit themeâ. This theme becomes obvious on the outsole, which is white at the front
and black at the heel. Whereas the swoosh is black at the midfoot, but switches to white
around the heel. The branding also continues the split theme, with the tongue tag featuring
black thread sewn down the middle. And the heel tag features a half-bold white Nike logo,
and a half-italicised black Nike logo embroidered together.Â
This follows on from the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Chicago which released in late 2020, to much acclaim. Rocking the colourway of the Chicago Bulls, most famously worn on the Air Jordan 1. The sneaker was extremely popular. And it now looks like a similar colourway is making its way to the traditional Nike Dunk. Although originally made for basketball, this is only the second time the Dunk low has featured a Chicago colourway. Second only to the last year’s Nike Dunk Low EMB NBA 75th Anniversary Chicago. As well as the Chicago colourway first debuting on the Air Jordan 1, the split theme has also been used before on the Air Jordan 1. Take the Air Jordan 1 Homage to Home for example. Which featured half of the Bred colourway, and half of the Chicago colourway, split right
down the middle.
