Nike’s Newly Waterproof Dunk Dives Into the Dark
When it comes to Nike’s Dunk sneaker, black isn't slimming. It's indulgent. The Nike Low Dunk GORE-TEX in "Triple Black" is a black-on-black-on-black iteration of the Swoosh's trendiest sneaker.
Except now, it’s waterproof. And then some.
The Dunk was once an inescapable sneaker, and much like any other trendy sneaker, the Dunk experienced its fair share of highs and lows regarding its popularity.
But with this GORE-TEX Dunk, Nike isn't just doubling down on the sneaker's star power, it's tripling down.
But while the GORE-TEX Dunk sneaker is almost certainly the sauciest of the Dunk lineage, it's also the toughest.
The GORE-TEX upper was built to fight off harsh winds in outerwear but as a membrane lining this Nike Dunk, it grants the shoe waterproofing capabilities.
That is to say, this sneaker is more than just its good looks. It has some serious substance, too.
All black everything is the method when it comes to the triple black Dunk shoe, and its raven exterior matches the robust energy of the hardwearing sneaker.
The only complaint is that it's one of the only of its kind. Though GORE-TEX Nike shoes are hardly uncommon, it is rather rare that lifestyle shoes as popular as the Dunk received the waterproofing treatment. All the more reason to snap this one up.
Available on the Nike website for $150, this Dunk is one of the sleekest sneakers of its heritage thanks to its blacked out make, which looks leaps more urbane than the white-paneled offerings associated with most Dunks.
