Description
The Nike Dunk Low Celestial Gold Suede reinterprets the classic basketball profile through a soft, sunlit palette tailored to modern sneaker rotations. Framed by the Dunk’s 80s heritage, this colourway reads as a calm, everyday artifact rather than a loud statement, with Celestial Gold tones bringing warmth and a slightly vintage feel. It sits naturally between skate culture, lifestyle wear and a more curated, archival approach to Dunks.
The pair builds on a traditional Dunk construction with a smooth leather base and suede overlays in Celestial Gold, adding depth through texture and tonal contrast. Perforations on the toe box and a padded collar keep things breathable and comfortable, while the low cut profile maintains easy wear throughout the day. Underfoot, a sturdy rubber cupsole with a responsive foam midsole delivers the familiar Dunk ride, ready for regular rotation.
Design details keep the story clean and precise. A contrasting Swoosh runs along the sidewalls in a complementary neutral tone, supported by matching heel tab and tongue label branding. The Celestial Gold suede panels give the upper a soft, brushed look that catches the light subtly, while the outsole grounds the colourway in a classic, wearable finish.
Within a curated selection, this Dunk works as a quiet anchor for outfits built around washed denim, straight leg chinos or wide leg jersey. The warm neutral shade makes it easy to pair with both earthy palettes and cooler greys, slotting in as a preserved everyday option that still offers a thoughtful point of view on a familiar silhouette.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.
- General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.
- Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
