Nike's Mega-Rugged "Dunk" Gets the Delicious Colorway It Deserves
In a Cordura weave, Nike's C1TY sneaker is as tough as nails. Wrapped in "beef and broccoli" vibes, Nike's Dunk-like shoe is now also simply delicious.
This new brown and green colorway certainly advances the C1TY's outdoorsy charm. But it also makes the extra-rugged shoe look good enough to eat.
Familiar earthy shades land on premium fuzzy suede and durable Cordura moments atop the C1TY's slick upper, as well as the leathery Swoosh that grace the shoe's sidewalls.
The scheme even strikes the work-boot-style shoelaces, which makes the C1TY even more worthy of joining the beef and broccoli collection.
Beef and broccoli is a pretty solid go-to dish at American Chinese restaurants, one that became particularly synonymous with New York, and thus it also pairs well with classic sneakers. Well, the brown and green colors, that is.
Timberland's iconic Field Boot is most synonymous with the scheme — not the more famous 6" Timbs boots, mind you, though those are obviously another classic NYC silhouette.
However, there have been several other great "beef and broccoli" shoes over the years, such as Nike's Air Max 1 sneaker, Aimé Leon Dore's New Balance 993 collab, and even post-sneaker styles like loafers.
And now you can add Nike's premium Cordura C1TY sneaker to the list as well.
With official images already circulating, Nike's beef and broc-flavored C1TY sneaker is expected to soon arrive at Nike stores for around $115.
