Anticipation Builds for Potential Re-release of Rare Wu-Tang Nike Dunk Highs in Fall 2024


This enigmatic sneaker, initially released in 1999, was a collaboration with the Wu-Tang Clan. According to Sneaker News, it features the original yellow/black "Iowa" or "Goldenrod" colorway of the Dunk High, with the Wu-Tang logo stamped into the heel. It is widely believed that only 36 pairs were released to the public, exclusively at Training Camp, a renowned footwear boutique in New York City. Nevertheless, nearly 100 pairs were manufactured, half distributed to the Wu-Tang Clan and the other half retained by Nike.

Amidst the world of high-profile, high-dollar footwear, the Wu-Tang Dunk Highs are a rare and exclusive breed, often fetching prices as high as $50,000. Travis Scott, a key figure in the sneaker industry, acquired a pair during its resurgence in the early 2020s, showcasing them on social media and increasing demand among the younger generation, further cementing the exclusivity of these iconic sneakers.

In collaboration with the official Wu-Tang Clan Instagram account, Nike Sportswear's official Instagram account shared a brief video of the Wu-Tang Dunk being obscured by a cluster of bees on June 30, 2024. Although no additional context was provided, it is evident that Nike and the rap collective are strongly suggesting a re-release.

While no official announcement has been made regarding a re-release, @zsneakerheadz/Sneaker Files eagerly anticipates the potential release of the Wu-Tang Dunk Highs in the fall of 2024. The excitement and anticipation for this possible event are palpable among sneaker enthusiasts and fans of the Wu-Tang Clan.
