Nike is bringing back a very special release in 2024. After the successful comeback of collaborations such as the HUF x Nike, and the UNDEFEATED x Air Jordan 4 expected in 2025, it seems that now the iconic 1999 collaboration with hiphop formation Wu-Tang Clan is also getting a rerelease.
Wu-Tang Clan
It may be one of the most iconic collaborations of all time: Wu-Tang Clan and Nike. Exactly 25 years ago, the hip-hop group, known for songs like "C.R.E.A.M.," "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F' Wit" and "Bring Da Ruckus," released a Nike Dunk High in the classic "Goldenrod" colorway. The release came with the well-known Wu-Tang Clan logo on the tongue.
The sneaker was very exclusive. Only 100 copies were released, half of which went to the Wu-Tang Clan and the other half stayed with Nike. In 2020, rapper Travis Scott revealed that he was one of the lucky ones to own this exclusive sneaker, which only made the sneaker more popular.
Now, especially for the 25th anniversary of the collaboration, Wu-Tang Clan and Nike are bringing the release back - this time hopefully with a wider release. On June 30, 2024, Nike Sportswear's official Instagram account, in collaboration with Wu-Tang Clan's account, posted a short clip of the Wu-Tang Dunk covered by a swarm of bees with the caption "BZZZZZZ."
Although the post had no further context, it is abundantly clear that the duo will be making a comeback. On August 25, 2024, atmos Japan released the Wu-Tang Clan x Nike Dunk High landing page. Check out the first images of the 2024 release below.
The sneaker is expected in September 2024, although the Japanese retailer locked it until its release on August 31, 2024. So the APAC region may get it a week earlier. Keep an eye on the Sneakerjagers news page for updates surrounding the release.
