Official Images // Nike Dunk Low “Seoul”

South Korea’s affection for Nike is one that’s rarely reciprocated by the brand elsewhere in the world. Despite the Swoosh being loved the world over, Nike continues to deliver special-edition kicks for the East-Asian nation often thwart with nationalistic pride. From special-edition Air Force 1s for their national Football team to a wild “Pollen Rise” regional-exclusive to the famed Air Jordan 3 “Seoul”— it’s enough to make this Aussie jealous (at least we got the Prestos, right?) Now Nike will be honoring the nation again, this time on a special city-themed Nike Dunk Low “Seoul” for the Summer.

Akin to 2018’s Air Jordan 3 “Seoul,” the forthcoming pair features the Taegukgi (태극기) on the tongue (left shoe). “NIKE” is spelled phonetically on the upper heel panels, with the remainder of the sneaker indulging in a predominantly “White/Black” color palette. As if its nod to South Korea wasn’t obvious enough with the country’s flag and hangul characters, the Dunk Low also boasts alternating red and blue flair across its profile swooshes and outsoles, the latter components sporting a semi-translucent finish. Unlike a previously-seen Air Presto, the brand’s latest ode to the cultural and technological powerhouse forgoes any image of the Siberian tiger, its national animal, in favor of a simple and straightforward arrangement.

Though a release date for this pair is not yet known, it is likely to arrive as an exclusive to the region over Summer. As always, keep your eyes locked on our official Twitter account for further updates — but until then, you can enjoy a first look at the pair here below.
