The Nike Dunk Low “Diffused Blue” Is Tonal and Textured

Since its revival in the early 2020s, the Nike Dunk Low has seen more makeovers than we can count—but every now and then, a fresh take still feels worth the double-take. Enter the “Diffused Blue” edition, a muted, monochromatic spin arriving this fall with a textural twist.

The Peter Moore-designed classic is back in a deep blue finish from heel to toe. A full suede and nubuck upper replaces traditional leather for a more premium feel, with lightly shaggy suede overlays adding subtle contrast to the smoother base. The Swoosh, also done in tonal suede, blends seamlessly into the upper, giving the silhouette a uniform look that leans more lifestyle than court-ready.

Standard nylon tongues and mesh liners keep things OG where it counts, while the flat woven laces and matching blue rubber sole unit complete the sneaker’s head-to-toe identity in “Diffused Blue.” Branding is kept classic with tonal hits across the tongue label and embroidered heel.

Expect the Nike Dunk Low “Diffused Blue” to arrive at Nike.com and select retailers this fall.
