Light Blue Lacquer is the accent here rather than the base. White covers most of the upper, black handles the panelling and the Swoosh, and the pale blue reads as trim. Skinny is Nike's name for this women's version of the Dunk High. The underlying shoe is unchanged: a padded high collar, a perforated toe box, a Swoosh that runs the length of the side panel, and a rubber cupsole.
Nike set retail at 85 dollars, which places this among the cheaper Dunk High makeups the brand has listed. The model itself goes back to 1985, when Peter Moore drew it as a college basketball shoe and borrowed panels from the Legend, the Terminator and the Air Force 1. That inherited panel layout is the reason colour blocking on a Dunk breaks into so many separate pieces, and why a three-tone scheme like this one has somewhere to put each shade.
