Nike prepares to launch a new take on its Dunk Low silhouette with the upcoming “Crocodile” edition. The shoe arrives for Fall 2025 and applies a reptile-inspired texture across the entire upper, giving the familiar model a sharp material shift. This release builds on the Dunk Low’s reputation for experimentation through texture, color, and detail.

The “Crocodile” colorway features a dark green faux crocodile leather construction that covers the base panels. The texture runs from the toe box to the heel, maintaining a consistent surface throughout. Each section delivers a raised pattern that mimics reptile skin without veering into exaggeration. This finish sets the tone for the entire shoe, offering a grounded yet deliberate material focus.
Nike pairs the textured upper with a suede swoosh and matching suede heel tab. Both arrive in a medium olive tone, slightly lighter than the rest of the upper. This shift in surface adds depth without pulling attention from the primary leather. The softness of the suede offsets the structured feel of the crocodile embossing, allowing both elements to stand on their own within the design.
Metallic gold branding punctuates the shoe through subtle details. The tongue tag features the Nike logo in gold, matched by gold accents on the insole and gold heel embroidery. These touches bring a controlled contrast to the green base, staying within the same tonal structure while elevating specific features.
The sole unit extends the green palette, with the midsole and outsole arriving in a matched finish. The color connects the top of the shoe with the foundation, building visual cohesion from top to bottom. Matching green laces complete the look, tying the material palette into a unified direction.
Nike has yet to announce an official retail price for the Dunk Low “Crocodile,” though the release is scheduled for Fall 2025. The sneaker will land online and likely through select retailers. The design keeps the Dunk Low’s familiar shape intact, but the textured upper introduces a different feel to the model.
