The Nike Dunk has been at the center of sneaker culture discussions, especially with its significant revival in recent years. This Summer marks an exciting time as Nike rolls out a special-edition version of the beloved Dunk to commemorate its fortieth anniversary. The Dunk model has experienced a renaissance since 2020 when Nike began releasing various styles, including the popular black & white colorway known as the Panda Dunk. This style quickly rose to fame and became a staple in sneaker collections worldwide.
In celebration of this milestone, Nike is set to release a new iteration of the Dunk Low SE, aptly named the ‘Panda.’ This release features standout elements inspired by the animal itself, including striking patent leather overlays and gradient laces that enhance the Panda theme. The inner tongue features a panda logo, while the shoe’s design showcases washed paneling that can appear almost purple under different lighting conditions.
Anticipated to drop on August 1st, 2025, this special ‘Panda’ edition not only pays homage to the Dunk’s legacy but also continues the trend of innovative releases from Nike. The expected price point is set at $125, aligning with previous high-demand Dunk models. As sneaker enthusiasts look forward to this latest addition, it’s a reminder of the lasting impact the Dunk silhouette has had over the past four decades.
