The Nike Dunk High 85 "Arctic Orange Denim" is a denim take on the original 1985 form of the Nike Dunk High. The vintage look is crucial here, as the aesthetic of the colorway has that pre-worn look on a fresh new sneaker. White leather underlays give way to a pinkish-orange denim on the overlays, which looks as though they were left out in the sun before being sewn on top of the underlays. The cleanly cut denim is also used for the Nike Swoosh on the sides, with a tiny heel tab protruding out from the surface of the soft, white leather ankle collar. White textile for the tongue, with the off-white tongue tag and black Nike and Swoosh branding, maintains the delicate balance between fresh and vintage, as the aged midsole gives way to the arctic orange outsole.
The Nike Dunk High 85 Arctic Orange Denim W is set to release on September 27th, 2022. It will drop on Nike and at select Nike Sportswear retailers worldwide, both in-store and online. Coming in women's sizes, retail is set at $140.
