The Nike Dunk High “Chlorophyll” is Now Available

The cyclical nature of fashion ensures that what falls out of favor will inevitably be revived, and Nike's Dunk silhouette is a testament to this phenomenon. Having oscillated between the spotlight and obscurity, the Dunk represents more than just a style of footwear; it's a narrative on the sneaker community's shifting tastes. As we navigate through an era where releases are plentiful and the extraordinary quickly becomes ordinary, there emerges a need for a reset, a return to the basics that once defined a classic.

Enter the Nike Dunk High “Chlorophyll” — a revitalizing take on a silhouette that some might argue has been strained by overproduction. This version returns to the sneaker's roots, specifically to the revered “Be True To Your School” ethos that ingrained the Dunk in sneakerhead history. It's a palette cleanser in the midst of clamorous designs and collaborations, rendered in a refreshing white leather base contrasted by overlays of a muted, natural green “Chlorophyll” hue.

The color placement is traditional — marking the toe box, heel, lace collar, and the iconic Swoosh — but the overall aesthetic speaks volumes. The matching laces and cotton mesh interiors tie the look together, encapsulating a mid-80s nostalgia that, for many purists, is the essence of the Dunk's charm.

The Nike Dunk High “Chlorophyll” is set to touchdown on December 14, available through Nike.com and select retail partners for $130.
