Wine red is a hard colour to land. Push it too bright and it tips into cherry; pull it too brown and it turns muddy. The Nike Dunk Low “Bordeaux” (DD1503-108) sits right on the line between the two: a deep, restrained wine red over white leather, the kind of tone that feels almost too heavy in summer and just right once November arrives.
Look at the photo and you can see exactly where the red lands: the swoosh, the overlays at the toe and heel, the laces, the collar and the outsole. Everything else — most of the upper and the white midsole — stays light. That balance makes the shoe calmer than you’d expect from a coloured Dunk. The white keeps it airy; the bordeaux gives it weight.
Why bordeaux is easier to style than a bright colour
A deep, muted tone behaves almost like a neutral. Where bright red keeps demanding attention, bordeaux simply slots in. A pair of straight blue jeans and a cream or off-white knit already gives you a finished winter look. For something more polished: wide wool trousers in camel or dark brown, an oversized blazer on top, and the shoe picks up those warm tones without shouting. Black works too, though the red loses a little of its depth against it — against brown, cream and denim it reads far better.
The same colour started life as a high-top
This Low is the counterpart to the Dunk High “Sail Team Red” from early 2021: the same white leather base with bordeaux overlays, just dropped to the ankle. The upper is leather, not suede — which keeps it easy to clean, even if the white panels ask for the occasional wipe, since they show everything. Retro branding on the tongue and heel and a bordeaux outsole finish it off. It’s a women’s model, sized in women’s EU, but the colourway itself wears well regardless of who laces it up.
At launch on 3 September 2021 the retail price was 100 euros. Today it’s a pair you won’t find on a shop shelf anymore. Right now every active listing we track is priced in euros, so UK and US buyers should factor in shipping and any import costs on top. The cheapest listings start around 114 euros, the regular spread runs roughly 135 to 220 euros across a handful of sneaker shops and marketplaces, and above that it climbs quickly toward resale — a single pair already sits near 540 euros. For an older Nike Dunk Low that hasn’t been re-released, that’s a fairly steady picture, and its Hypescore holds at 82 (ATOMIC band).
If you’re torn between sizes or shops, it’s worth a quick comparison: Solezilla lines up the active listings for this and other Nike colourways side by side, so you can see at a glance where your size sits for the best price.
