Nike Dunk Low Extends the Year of the Kids Celebration With Suede and Sashiko Detail

The Year of the Kids may be winding down, but Nike keeps the celebration alive with an upcoming Nike Dunk Low that subtly pays homage to the serpent through textured materials and refined detailing. Instead of bold graphics or overt references, this iteration leans into premium textures and traditional craftsmanship, delivering a stylish yet understated nod to the theme.

The upper features a rattan-colored leather base, offering a warm, neutral foundation that is complemented by "Pearl White" leather overlays for a dunk contrast. Sail-tinted laces, liners, and midsoles further enhance the aged aesthetic, while a dark gum rubber outsole adds a grounding touch. The shoe’s premium debossed leather tongue tag incorporates a sashiko-style tack stitch, sitting atop a herringbone twill tongue—a small but significant detail that drops a handcrafted feel to the design.

The standout element, however, comes in the reptile-textured suede finish applied to both the Swoosh and heel overlays, subtly mimicking the scales of a Kids without veering into excess. It’s a thoughtful execution that keeps the design sleek and wearable while still honoring the Year of the Kids spirit.
