The notorious Panda Dunks have ruled the sneaker scene for far too long, but we have one thing to say: move over, Pandas; a new monarch is about to claim the throne. Dariyn Enriquez’s Polar Bear x Nike Dunk customs are the ideal wintertime substitute for those tired old Pandas. So, let’s get a closer look.
A Closer Look At The Design
This bear-inspired design has an icy colour scheme with fuzzy white velvet on the overlays, silvery white satin on the base, and soft imitation fur on the padded tongues. Although the choice of materials alone produces a cosy winter aesthetic, the small paw prints embossed throughout the velvet overlays are the real show-stopper here; they give the illusion of a polar bear traipsing through snow. The heel tab also has small claw embellishments that give the design an added whimsical touch; but personally, I like the shoe better without the claws.
In keeping with the theme, the pair is completed with a white midsole, a translucent grey outsole, and a pair of crisp white laces. Nike, take note. These are the kind of holiday-inspired kicks sneakerheads look forward to adding to their collection this time of year. This colourway would undoubtedly be the ideal wintertime substitute for the Panda Dunks.
