The Nike Dunk Low Black and Pink Rise takes a familiar silhouette and updates it with translucent panels and a soft pink gradient effect, giving the shoe a modern twist without losing that classic Dunk appeal. This pair mixes the traditional leather overlay structure with see-through underlays, making it stand out among recent general release Dunk offerings.
A notable detail on this release is the way the gradient shows through both the clear panels and the outsole. The outsole fades from darker near the heel to lighter towards the toe, giving the shoe a subtle shift as you move. Some older clear-panel sneakers from the 2000s were known for fogging and discoloring, but Nike appears to have gone with a newer synthetic material that resists clouding and creasing better over time.
I’ve always been curious about clear sneakers since back when pairs like the Invisible Woman AF1s made waves. I never grabbed any of those pairs back then, but the black-and-pink combo here was the final push. The look is wearable, not too flashy, and the gradient tint adds personality without forcing you to stress over sock color. I was able to get these on super sale from Xhibition (around 40% off), so at that price it was worth taking the plunge.
These come in the standard orange Nike box and are laced with black laces out of the box. The standout accessory is the bedazzled NIKE dubrae, which adds a playful detail that matches the experimental feel of the design.
Materials
The black leather overlays are lightly tumbled with a bit of shine to them, and while not premium, they feel solid and consistent for the price point. The translucent underlays are smooth and flexible, with that built-in gradient tint that gives the shoe its character. Overall, a good execution for a GR.
Fit & Comfort
Fit is standard true to size for Dunk Lows. The clear panels lighten the weight of the shoe noticeably. The fit feels slightly more narrow than a standard Dunk but otherwise they fit just like most non-SB Dunks. The comfort is what you’d expect: fine for daily casual wear, nothing groundbreaking.
If these are sold out at different stores online, you can try looking for them on eBay.
