Over 40 years on, the Dunk Low is still one of the most distinctive Nike silhouettes out there. Originally released in 1985 as a basketball shoe that bridged the gap between performance and lifestyle, it quickly became a college hoops staple before being reimagined as a streetwear and skate icon in the ’90s and ’00s. And now, we’re getting our first look at the Nike Dunk Low Soft Pearl Mini Swoosh W – a women’s exclusive that’s guaranteed to turn heads wherever you go.
While this version may look like a classic Triple White colorway from a distance, get up close and you’ll spot all kinds of unique details. Crafted from a premium leather build, the soft pearl panels shimmer with a subtle pearlescent sheen that shifts depending on light and movement.

Across the sides, the Beaverton brand swaps out the usual oversized Swoosh for a mini Swoosh, finished in an iridescent, multi-color effect that glistens like an oil slick. This same treatment also lands on the tongue tag, which is proudly stamped with bold Nike branding for extra pop.
Around the back, the heel badge opts for a more understated midnight navy paint job, balancing the shine with a classic touch. Underfoot, the Dunk is rounded off with a pre-aged midsole that gives it a vintage, straight-from-the-archives vibe, while the grippy outsole ensures everyday wearability.
Releasing in Holiday 2025, the Nike Dunk Low Soft Pearl Mini Swoosh W will be available at Nike and select retailers online and in-store for $130.
