Nike Will Officially Release Rare Wu-Tang Clan Collaboration

Wu-Tang Clan and Nike's most sought-after collaboration will finally become available to the public this year.

On Sunday, June 30, Nike posted a cryptic announcement to social media. The post contains a video of the coveted, high-top dunks covered in killer bees. The caption only reads "BZZZZZZZZ" but the message couldn't be more loud and clear. Nike is preparing to drop its coveted Nike Dunk High "Wu-Tang" in honor of the collaboration's 25th anniversary. According to Complex , the re-release will still feature the classic "Goldenrod" colorway along with the same "Black/Pollen/White" scheme. Wu-Tang's iconic logo will also appear on the sneaker's tongue and heel.

The OG Wu-Tang x Nike Dunks first arrived back in 1999. Only 36 pairs were made and sold to the public. Over the years, the sneakers made their way to resellers and auctions, who have sold them for over $10,000. Sobethy's currently has a pair up for sale at the asking price of $27,500. As of this report, Nike has not confirmed the official release date of the rare sneakers. However, according to zsneakerheadz , they might drop this fall.

Nike's announcement about their Wu-Tang Clan collaboration comes a couple of weeks after the group's rare album Once Upon A Time In Shaolin became available to the general public. Digital art collective Pleasr, who bought the album for $4.5 million, recently gave fans a chance to own a digitized and encrypted edition of the group's seventh studio LP for one dollar. The purchase unlocks an exclusive sampler crafted by the album's co-producer Cilvaringz. Each sale will knock down the album's legally bound release date of October 8, 2103 to a closer date.
