Coming as close to the OG design as possible, the Nike Dunk High 85 made its debut in 2021. This iteration of the classic Dunk silhouette features a modified design on the upper, as well as a thicker, chunkier sole. Following up a couple “Acid Wash” and Undercover designed pairs, we have an all-new denim-themed pair.
Nicknamed the “Barely Rose Denim” edition, this Nike Dunk High 85 comes in summit white, barely rose, university red, coconut milk, and black. The sneaker features white leather underlays, paired with faded barely rose denim overlays. Red contrast stitching throughout adds a pop of color to this light colored pair. A vintage-style coconut milk colored midsole sits atop a light barely rose colored outsole to finish things off.
The Nike Dunk High 85 Barely Rose Denim is set to release on September 27th, 2022. It will drop at Nike as well as select NSW retailers worldwide, both in-store and online. Coming in men’s sizing, retail is set at $140.
