Sneaker News Staying ahead of the game and “in the know” is what moves the needle, right? Early leaks and unsanctioned previews are part of the daily life of a sneakerhead, but Nike just upped the ante by revealing first looks at a number of key releases arriving in the new year.
We’ve already individually covered some of the highlights, like the return of the Royal Foamposites and the Air Sunder Max. That extra spotlight shouldn’t take away from the rest of the batch, which covered ground from Nike ACG (the Exploraid and Torre Mid) to Nike SB (next year’s Valentine’s Day SB Dunks).
Other standouts included an upcoming “City Pack” of Air Force 1s, which aims to spotlight some of the more unheralded cities when it comes to their contributions to global trends, two key 2000s-inspired runners from the Pegasus line, and even a set of highly-collectible Dunk Lows.
A full recap of the Nike SNKRS 2024 Preview is just ahead.
The Return of legendary Dunks
-
- Nike Dunk Low “Reverse Curry” Fall 2024

-
- Nike Dunk Low “Silver Blue” Fall 2024
Three icons of the early Dunk era — the “Ultraman”, “Reverse Curry” and, “Silver Surfer” — are confirmed to return in Fall 2024. The first two are remembered among the co.jp exclusives, while the third “Silver/Blue” once featured the actual Silver Surfer of Marvel Comics fame on the insole. It’s not confirmed whether or not that detail will return, but it seems unlikely due to trademarks.
