One of the most coveted styles of the acclaimed Nike Dunk is getting an environmentally friendly upgrade.

The sportswear giant confirmed via the SNKRS release calendar that the Nike Dunk Low Women’s Next Nature in the “White and Black” colorway is releasing in May.

The shoe sports a white-based leather upper that’s contrasted by black overlay panels that are constructed with synthetic leather made from recycled polyester. Unlike previous releases of the style, this pair features a volt footbed with Nike’s pinwheel logo while a white midsole and a solid black rubber outsole complete the look of the shoe.

The colorway has often been referred to as “Panda” due to its color similarities to the panda bear there are no details on the shoe that confirms the connection between the two. This shoe will also be dropping exclusively in women’s sizing.
