Nike Celebrate The Year of The Dragon With Special LX Edition of the Dunk Low

As the Lunar New Year approaches, Nike subtly unveils its thematic lineup, honoring the "Year of the Dragon" with meticulous detail. The newest addition, emerging through the festive curtain, is the women’s Nike Dunk Low LX, a creation that beautifully marries cultural symbolism with contemporary style.

The sneaker immediately signals its Eastern inspiration, brandishing the iconic “Just Do It” slogan on its tongue label, with a creative twist as the letter “D” transforms elegantly into a dragon. However, the “Dusty Cactus” scale patterns enveloping the toe, tongue, and heel anchor the design's tribute. This color choice resonates with the exclusive Lunar New Year releases, including the anticipated Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Year of the Dragon.”

While shades of blue bring a calm balance to the premium Dunk iteration, the profound red accents woven throughout the upper deeply tie the design to zodiac traditions, invoking prosperity and good fortune synonymous with Lunar New Year celebrations.

The insoles dance with an array of colors mimicking the first lights of dawn, paired with whimsical cloud illustrations, adding a layer of narrative to the sneaker’s cultural homage. This festive storytelling extends to the lace dubrae, cradling a dragon’s claw within its intricate design, further solidifying its place in the "Year of the Dragon" collection.

While we're still on tenterhooks regarding an exact release date, whispers suggest we can anticipate this Dunk Low's arrival in early 2024.

Keep your eyes peeled for the release on Nike.com.
