Nike, along with incorporating Asian culture in their designs, often commemorates many of the continent’s most iconic holidays. And with Lunar New Year just around the corner, the brand has prepared a Dunk High lightly dipped in Eastern influences.
Unlike some of the Swoosh’s prior efforts — such as the Nike SB Dunk Low “Hawker” — this upcoming Dunk High is much more reserved, featuring light grey suede and white leathers across the overlays and base, respectively. The Swoosh, in slight contrast, is tinted ever-so-slightly cream, while the lining and back pull-tab opt for a lush green that alludes to nature much like the icy blue bottom. And across the heel, this inspiration takes further form, as mountains are emblazoned onto the panel in a gilded finish.
For a closer look at the upcoming Nike Dunk High “Lunar New Year,” take a peek at the leaked imagery below. At the time of writing this, a release date has not yet been revealed; it’s likely, though, that these will land early 2023.
