We like to think this kick's palette resembles Christmas colors, though others have noted its similarities to Freddy Krueger's infamous sweater. However you want to view it, though, this sneaker definitely exudes hefty doses of red and green. Red leather acts as the upper's base, while darker Cargo Khaki leather overlays surround the toe box and cover the eyestays, ankle and heel.
You'll also notice the iconic side panel Swoosh is in Cargo Khaki. Each Swoosh wraps around the heel to connect. On top of the connected bands is another overlay with red Nike embroidery.
There's plenty of Nike branding throughout the rest of the shoe as well. The Mystic Red tongue includes a Cargo Khaki Nike emblem, as does the red insole. Cargo Khaki laces add more contrast to the already duochromatic shoe.
Other standard features, like ventilation holes in the toe box, a padded collar, and double-holed ankle grommets, finish off this shoe's traditional design. All of it sits on top of a crisp and clean white midsole that's mated to a red outsole.
Wearing this casual shoe during the Christmas season is easy. Just toss it on with your favorite pair of jeans and an ugly Christmas sweater. It's a hands-down win.
Embrace the holiday season with a shoe that matches. The Nike Dunk Low Retro BTTYS "Mystic Red" is just what you need for those family gatherings when you'll be sipping eggnog late into the evening. Grab them in men's sizes on December 13, online and at your local Hibbett or City Gear.
