The Water-Proof Nike Dunk Low GTX Makes A Statement in "Light Crimson"

Nike Sportswear hasn't made as big of a deal over the 40th anniversary of Peter Moore's Nike Dunk Low as Jordan Brand has made of its original signature silhouette's milestone celebration, but it's consistently churned out new styles of the silhouette.

Ahead of summer, the old school basketball sneaker has emerged in an eye-catching "Light Crimson/Infrared" color scheme. While the Nike Dunk has taken on a plethora of bold finishes since its debut in 1985, the newly-surfaced pair differentiates itself from other styles via its GORE-TEX-backing. Akin to the near-identical Air Jordan 1's own weather-proof update, the Swoosh's low-top offering features high-quality materials protected by full GORE-TEX inner lining. The two-tone upper includes non-standard branding denoting its water-proof capabilities, while the profile swooshes enjoy a raised, reflective finish.

Underfoot, the tried-and-proven sole unit also gets a set of modifications to help the sneaker perform in more inclement situations than standard Nike Sportswear pairs.
