When it comes to the most popular sneaker silhouettes in recent years, Nike‘s Dunk Low has been at the forefront of the current skate trends that are ruling the streetwear market.

Collaborative projects are constantly in the works, with cosigns from LeBron James, Travis Scott, and Kyrie Irving stealing the spotlight for some of the most high-profile editions of the shoe in recent memory.

Nike is now releasing the “UCLA” Dunk Low, which is a revitalized edition of the 1985 version designed by Peter Moore, in a striking “Blue Jay,” “University Gold,” and white colorway. Its color inspiration comes from the University of California’s sports programs, and Moore describes it as an ideal sneaker for both the basketball court and the skateboard.

“University Gold” tones are sprayed across the lateral mid-panel, around the toe cap, and over the laces of this soft leather shoe with a rubber outsole. The low-cut silhouette also has a white panel above the grippy “Blue Jay” sole beneath it. Nike’s signature Swoosh appears in “Blue Jay” along the side of the shoe, with additional Nike branding in “University Gold” on the heel tab.
