Release Date: The Nike Dunk Low ‘UNLV’ Receives a Satin Makeover

Update May 1, 2023: Release details have surfaced for the upcoming Nike Dunk Low ‘UNLV’, the satin remix arriving at Nike on May 5.

In 2023 it seems like Nike will continue to churn out their famed Dunk Low in every colourway and iteration imaginable (milking it for all its worth!) If you’re a Dunk fan, you’ve had a good run the past three years, and it’s about to get even better because the ‘UNLV’ is set to receive a new look.

Harking back to the 1985 colourways, Team Swoosh have used the iconic two-tone colourblocking but swapped the usual leather for satin. This ‘UNLV’ pair will also follow the retro from 2020, which borrows its colourway from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Interestingly, this is considered an original Dunk colourway, with the High version being part of the ‘Be True to Your School’ pack from the 1980s. The base of this pair boasts ‘Medium Grey’ with ‘Varsity Red’ overlays and crisp white midsoles.

This also won’t be the first time an iconic combo has received a plush makeover, the ‘Shattered Backboard’ Air Jordan 1s were also blessed back in 2018!

There’s been no release date for the Nike Dunk Low ‘UNLV’, but with the leak of product shots, you should expect them to land sometime in the near future!
