The Nike x Wu-Tang Clan Dunk will release on November 9th. The limited edition will be available on the SNKRS app and select retail locations.
“These Dunks are important to me and the Wu-Tang legacy because of the cultural impact they've had since their original release,” Wu-Tang Clan's RZA said in a statement to Nike. “For many years, the sneaker world was reserved for athletes and a few entertainers, and Nike recognizing us in this way is a testament to hip-hop and our contribution to culture.”
He continued, “The shoe has already carved a legacy as a silhouette that people have strived for, and now thousands of people will have the opportunity to own a pair. These sneakers are a trophy.”
