The Wu-Tang x Nike Dunk High is making a comeback, and it’s a big deal, word is bond! Dropping on November 9th, 2024, exactly 31 years after the release of their pioneering debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), this black and yellow sneaker isn’t just a release; it’s a piece of hip hop history. Nike’s bringing back that classic Wu-Tang colourway, first released in 1999, and let’s be real – this is C.R.E.A.M. for the streets, real talk.

Enter the 36 Chambers Swagged Out
These sneakers are known to be neck breakers so you best protect your neck! Let’s take it back to ‘99, when the original Wu-Tang Dunks dropped in a super-limited run of just 36 pairs, a nod to Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Those pairs are grails, straight-up unicorns in the sneaker world, and they’ve been known to fetch up to $50,000 on the resale market. That’s wild! For everyone who couldn’t bring the ruckus back then, this is your shot to cop a piece of Wu history.
Iconic Killer Bee Style
This colourway is pure Wu-Tang. With a bold yellow leather base and jet-black overlays, the sneaker embodies that Killer Bee mentality – aggressive, iconic, and unapologetically Wu. And the Wu-Tang “W” stamped on the heel? That’s the ultimate seal of approval. These kicks ain’t nothin’ to f**k with, and they’re ready to sting. Whether you’re a Shaolin disciple or just know a classic when you see one, these Dunks are a statement, loud and clear.

More Than Just a Sneaker – This is Part of the Wu-Tang’s Legacy
Wu-Tang has always been about more than music; it’s a movement, a lifestyle. This collab marks the second time Nike and Wu-Tang have joined forces, but the impact still hits hard. The Dunk’s return is a testament to Wu-Tang’s everlasting influence – they took the world by storm in the ‘90s, and they’re still leaving their mark today. As Ghostface said, “You best protect ya neck,” because this drop is going to shake up the streets.
Cash Rules: When and Where to Cop
The Wu-Tang x Nike Dunk High will be available at select retailers and Nike’s site on November 9th, 2024. If you’re looking to own a piece of the Wu legacy, you’ll need to move fast. With demand this high, these kicks are guaranteed to sell out in record time. Goodluck my fellow Wu bretheren.
