Everything You Need To Know About The Wu-Tang Nike Dunk High

2024-11-01

The Wu-Tang Nike Dunk High marks one of 2024’s most significant sneaker releases of 2024. Those who know, know. Those who don’t, listen up. Nike is officially releasing this iconic, game-changing collaboration on November 9th, 2024 on SNKRS, and everything you need to know about this release is detailed here.

The Wu-Tang x Nike Dunk High originally surfaced in 1999. The shoes were created as a promo pair to celebrate Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), the collective’s game-changing album. It was never quite clear how many pairs made it out to the public; it was long believed to be 36 pairs, but close to 100 pairs were made and handed out to friends and family of Wu-Tang and Nike brass.

Over the years, the Wu-Tang x Nike Dunk High grew a mythology. In a time where sneakers rarely cracked the $1,000 in the open market, Wu-Tang Dunks easily surpassed those figures. One pair notoriously sold for $50,000 during the pandemic.

In late June 2024, the official Instagram page of Nike Sportswear posted a video of the Wu-Tang Dunk High covered in a hive of bees. There was no context around the media, but given how this type of content rarely ever occurs from Nike’s official channels, fans were quick to assume that a re-release of the iconic shoe was all but confirmed.
