Editor’s Notes: By now, you’ve heard it time and time again – the Nike Dunk Low was a dominant force within the 2021 sneaker release schedule, to a mixed reception.
The revival of era-defining silhouettes through a high frequency of drops is nothing new at the Swoosh; we’ve witnessed it countless times, more recently with the Air Max Plus III and a full range of Shox sneakers.
When the time of the Dunk came, Nike pulled out all the stops, giving resellers a new weapon of choice. As we drew nearer to the end of the year, it looked as if this pace would slow, making way for more Dunk Highs, and opening a path for the Air Max 1 to experience a renaissance.
Though many a Low remains near the horizon – “Vintage Green,” for example – it looks like the Dunk High is due more than just a series of two-tone palette swaps.
Thanks to images that have surfaced via Instagram, it looks like long-time Nike collaborators, CLOT, will form part of the game plan to shift the attention to the more vertically-aligned silhouette.

Unmissable is certainly a fitting word to describe the upcoming collaboration, which dresses the entirety of the Dunk’s upper in a striking metallic silver finish, which is equally as mesmerizing as it is majestic.
Playing with fabrication and texture are keystones of CLOT’s aesthetic, which in the past has been drawn from ancient Chinese tradition.
The inspiration for this pair is yet to be disclosed, but the Margiela Future friendly finish has already split opinions amongst sneakerheads.
