Nike is releasing the Dunk Low in a colorway being called “Sesame,” and it pairs a warm, earthy upper with a gum sole that gives the shoe a distinctly classic feel. This is a Premium build, meaning the materials and construction get a slight step up from the standard lineup, and the result is a shoe that leans into simplicity without feeling plain.
Nike has been one of the defining forces in sneaker culture since the 1970s, building a catalog that spans performance basketball, running, and lifestyle footwear. The brand’s ability to move between sport and street has kept it relevant across decades, and the Dunk is one of the clearest examples of that crossover ability. Originally designed by Peter Moore and introduced in 1985 as a basketball shoe, the Dunk was built to support the ankle and provide court grip for college teams. It came in school colorways, which made it an instant collector’s item before that concept even had a name. Over the years the shoe migrated off the court entirely, becoming a staple of skate culture in the late 1990s and early 2000s before cementing itself as one of the most versatile silhouettes in streetwear.
The Low version of the Dunk strips away the higher collar and gives the silhouette a more relaxed, everyday wearability. It keeps the same padded Swoosh on the side panels and the layered leather overlay construction that made the original recognizable, but the reduced height makes it easier to style across more outfits. In this Sesame release, the leather appears on the footbed and overlays in that warm off-white, sandy tone that reads neutral against almost anything. The gum sole underneath is the detail that ties it together, referencing vintage basketball and skate builds that have long been favorites among collectors.
