In 2021, the Nike Dunk shot to extreme popularity. As a result, this year was given the new moniker - the Year of the Dunk. Due to the sneaker's increased demand, the American sports company introduced a ton of new colorways the next year as well because of its continued success. The 'Salmon' colorway of the Nike Dunk High was one of these fresh colorways.

This Nike Dunk's upper is entirely composed of leather. The side panel, heel, and tongue are all white, as is the toebox. A light grey colour can be seen on the pull tab and the Swoosh. The name of the colorway is referenced by the salmon pink colour on the overlays. The outsole also has this colour.
