Sonic Yellow is the only loud thing on this Dunk. The rest is Camo Green, Black Spruce and Sequoia leather over a waterproof GORE-TEX build. Nike sells it for $155 under style code HQ2053-300.

Price: $155
Where to Buy: Nike

The shape is the plain Dunk Low you already know, so the only change is that a wet commute no longer decides which shoes you wear.

Will it really keep your feet dry?

In rain and puddles, yes. Nike rates the GORE-TEX finish waterproof and stops there: this is a sneaker, not a boot, and Nike says it isn’t personal protective equipment.

Does it still feel like a normal Dunk?

Nike kept the standard parts. You get a foam midsole, a padded low-cut collar and a rubber outsole with the classic pivot circle. The only addition it lists is a reflective detail.

Is Camo Green the color to get?

It’s the loudest of four. Nike also sells this shoe in Light Bone/Mink Brown/Sail, Black/Anthracite/Off Noir and Summit White at the same price, and the Light Bone pair runs $135 on Amazon right now.

Price: $135 (Light Bone/Mink Brown/Sail)
Where to Buy: Amazon




Same leather, same GORE-TEX, softer colors.

Price: $155
Where to Buy: Nike

Buy Camo Green if you want one dark pair that hides scuffs through winter. If the softer color doesn’t bother you, Amazon saves you $20.
