      The deets:

      To mark the 35th anniversary of the basketball and skate-friendly Dunk, Nike is getting ready to release the "Brazil" in varsity maize and pine green--a tribute to the South American country's signature hues. The style is part of three new colourways in the “Team Tones” pack. Check out details like the mesh yellow tongue (a nod to the originals) and the cool green outsole.

      Randomness: 

      Released in 1985, the Nike Dunk was the brand's original team shoe, part of a deal with schools like the Universities of Michigan and Kentucky to make the high-cut versions their official court footwear. Embraced by skateboarders, the style would heavily influence the design of Air Jordans. It's the first time you've seen this colourway released since the early 2000s.
