Nike And Wu-Tang Clan Join Forces For The 2024 Nike x Wu-Tang Clan Dunk

Nike and The Wu-Tang Clan have united to re-release the Nike x Wu-Tang Clan Dunk, which Nike describes as one of the most treasured sneaker collaborations of all time. The original iteration was released in 1999, and the re-release, which mirrors the original with its Black and Pollen colorway will be available for global release on 11/9.

“These Dunks are important to me and the Wu-Tang legacy because of the cultural impact they’ve had since their original release,” says Wu-Tang Clan front man RZA. “For many years, the sneaker world was reserved for athletes and some entertainers, and Nike recognizing us in this way is a testament to hip-hop and our contribution to culture.”

A promotional video was released last week (10/25), which revisited the "Ice Cream" theme from the video and song of the same name, which appeared on Wu member Raekwon's critically acclaimed 1995 solo album, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. The video features New York Knicks players Jalen Brunson, Mikel Bridges, and Josh Hart ordering from a Wu-Tang ice cream truck, while the melody from "C.R.E.A.M." plays in the background.
