I often get asked to give my opinion on if a shoe looks like it's burnt orange. While “Desert Orange” is the official shade that Nike uses for Texas Orange, here are 5 other Nike colors that come close:
Monarch
Sports Spice
Mesa Orange
Dark Curry
Dark Russet

The Nike Dunk Low "Reverse Curry" releases this Friday at 9 am on the SNKRS app 🤘
While not an official UT shoe, this Dark Curry color may be the closest to burnt orange that I've seen on a Nike (aside from Desert Orange).
