In 2024, the renowned Wu-Tang x Nike Dunk High Retro Premium makes its long-awaited return in a striking “Black Pollen” colourway. This release pays tribute to the enduring legacy of the Wu-Tang Clan, a group that transformed hip-hop with their groundbreaking sound and cultural influence.
Staying true to the original design, the 2024 edition features the iconic Wu-Tang logo on the lateral heel, with a custom tongue label adding to the sense of exclusivity. The scarcity of this release makes it even more notable, with only 36 pairs expected to be available—a reference to Wu-Tang’s seminal debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), released in 1993. This nod to their roots underlines the group’s lasting impact on both music and culture.
Emerging from Staten Island, New York, in the early 1990s, Wu-Tang Clan changed the face of hip-hop with their raw sound and complex lyricism. The group, led by members like RZA, GZA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, and Masta Killa, extended their influence far beyond music. Their original 1999 collaboration with Nike became a cultural moment, merging the worlds of hip-hop and sneakers in a way that continues to resonate.
Set to drop on 9 November 2024 at select Nike Sportswear retailers and on Nike.com for $150 USD, the Wu-Tang Dunks stand as a powerful reminder of this cultural legacy. With limited availability and a design steeped in history, these trainers embody the Wu-Tang Clan’s significant and ongoing influence on hip-hop and beyond.
