Perhaps overshadowed by news regarding the Air Max Sunder or Galaxy Foams during the Holiday 2024 SNKRS Preview, the Nike Dunk Low “Berlin” was also tipped off, teasing a tribute to Germany amid a year filled with Paris-themed drops. Though the pair’s release is still pending, we’re getting official images just a few short weeks after our first look, hinting towards a launch sooner than later.
If you weren’t able to tap in for that showcase event, the presenters gave a pretty detailed breakdown of the narrative elements at work with this shoe. Berlin’s club culture is the true guiding principle, the nocturnal atmosphere here influenced by ultra-exclusive spots like Berghain. However, nightlife isn’t the only selling point of the German capital, nor is it the only aspect reflected with this Dunk Low.
The patent leather overlays reflect the city’s deep fashion culture, the abstract print atop those sections hint towards its tattooing tradition, and the mineral accent shades are intended to reflect the city’s “raw industrialism.” All told, this is a return to the expressive storytelling that was rampant during the (first) golden age of Nike Dunks in the aughts, so long-time devotees and new fans alike should have a reason to pay close attention to this release.
There’s no set date for the Nike Dunk Low “Berlin,” but the appearance of official images portends a release sooner than later. Expect a $130 MSRP upon arrival; enjoy official images just ahead in the meantime.
