Nike went all-pastel with a release of three Nike Dunk Retro's in early 2021. Possibly the crème de la crème is this Nike Dunk Low Retro Orange Pearl. White and a light pastel orange-pearl leather form a clean upper aesthetic, finished by a white midsole and pearl outsole.

To the discontent of many male sneakerheads that were thrilled to rock this ultra-clean shoe, Nike released the pack of Pastel-Dunks in women's sizing only. This forms part of their increased aspiration to elevate female awareness in the sneaker community.
