The Nike Dunk Low Next Nature "Panda" Just Restocked

The Nike Dunk Low Next Nature "Panda" just restocked on Nike.com

Though Nike’s Move to Zero initiative hit the ground with some of the most audacious and obviously recycled options, its most recent efforts have been so well camouflaged that you probably didn’t even know that these were recycled, right? There is no overt use of Grind Rubber or Crater Foam, nor are there any exterior callouts to the sustainable series, just a simple Flyleather construction atop a sole unit lightly peppered with recycled off-cuts.

At first glance, these Dunks might look like any other from the iconic series, thanks to their heritage two-tone "Panda" Dunk blocking. The design employs signature white leather uppers paired with striking overlays in black, a color scheme that resonates with the Dunk lineage's roots. Tongues, laces, and branding maintain the dual-tone aesthetic, offering a crisp and clean look that's versatile for any wardrobe.

However, it's the subtleties in its construction that set this pair apart. Unlike the more overtly recycled options in the Move to Zero line, these Dunks feature a Flyleather construction, a material known for its reduced impact on the planet. This choice aligns with Nike's ongoing efforts to minimize waste and promote circularity in its products.

The design's eco-friendly credentials are further hinted at through the light grey Grind Rubber-flecked outsole, a subtle nod to the sneaker's sustainable qualities. This detail not only adds to the shoe's aesthetic but also to its story, reminding wearers of the importance of conscious consumption.

Rounding out the design is the pair's Move to Zero insoles, marked by Nike's signature Pinwheel logo in vibrant volt. This emblem serves as a testament to the sneaker's place within Nike's broader environmental mission, offering a sustainable choice without sacrificing the iconic Dunk style.

First released back in November 2021, Nike US has just issued a restock of these ladies-exclusives right here on Nike.com.
