Delving into Wu-Tang Clan x Nike Dunk High 'Black and Pollen' sneakers
The social media posts, which are related to the release of the 'shock drop' of the Wu-Tang Clan x Nike Dunk High 'Black and Pollen' sneakers, are getting a good amount of traction as the fans are getting excited about this upcoming drop.
The launch of the latest iteration is expected to be a significant event for both sneakerheads and hip-hop fans. The original Wu-Tang Dunks trace back to the year 1999. At that time, Nike released a limited version of the Dunk High featuring Wu-Tang’s signature yellow and black colorway.
Below is what the official Nike website had to say about the upcoming brand-new colorway of Wu-Tang Clan x Nike Dunk High:
"Born from the streets of Staten Island, Wu-Tang Clan emerged not only as a hip-hop group but a cultural phenomenon. Their unique blend of gritty lyricism, kung fu references and innovative production created a powerful sonic tapestry embodying the spirit of creativity and individuality."
It continues:
"To honor their journey, we're officially releasing the mythological Wu-Tang Clan Dunk. Clad in premium leather and "Killa Beez" color blocking, the tongue label and outer heel embroidery features their distinctive "W" logo, which has become a true symbol of authenticity and rebellion."
As the website says, this latest iteration of the sneakers pays homage to the hip-hop clan. This 'Black and Pollen' colorway sports a combination of black and bright yellow. Many Wu-Tang Clan fans are considering this color combination to be a reference to what is known as the 'Killa Beez' palette. This is the official color combination of the legendary hip-hop collective.
The upper section of the Wu-Tang Clan x Nike Dunk High 'Black and Pollen' Sneakers is mainly crafted with black panels, which feature bright yellow overlays. The toe box is done in black leather, which ties in with the black side panels. The laces are in yellow. A yellow Nike Swoosh is designed across the side of the shoes. The iconic Wu-Tang "W" logo is embroidered on the outer heel.
The white midsole adds a break from the black and yellow combination. The outsole again features bright yellow.
