[Update 6 Feb 2023] Nearly half a year since it first appeared on our radar, official images of the Nike Dunk High “Wolf Grey”, together with its price tag and style code, are here. Expect this almost nondescript pair to drop real soon. As usual, keep your eyes peeled on this space for any updates!

The Nike Dunk High debuted as a basketball silhouette in 1985, but has since transcended onto the ramps of skateboarders and the hardened streets of the everyday person. The classic model’s versatility and signature colorblocking is often utilised when the Swoosh invites collaborators onboard to unleash their creative energies, making Dunk Highs a popular item in various collectors’ displays.

But as the year draws to a close, Nike is reverting back to its own color chart to refresh the Nike Dunk Highs. Specifically, it has coated the premium leather sneaker with one of its most coveted colors: Wolf Grey. So enamoured they are with the greyish hue that they have disregarded the usual two-tone colorblocking of the Dunks, and instead renders the shoe’s upper in a tonal Wolf Grey.

The only contrasting color is a pristine white, which appears on the Swooshes, heel tabs, tongue branding and midsole. Such a color combination is palatable and sophisticated — an easy design to incorporate into any outfit.

No official release dates have been revealed, but we expect it to drop sometime this year. In the meantime, check out early looks provided by @prvt.selection & @masterchefian in the slider above.

In other Nike news, this Air Jordan 1 Low “Bordeaux” is another classic not to be missed.
