If you’re a sneakerhead, you know that the world of footwear is a fascinating, ever-evolving landscape. In the realm of iconic kicks, the Nike Dunks have always held a special place, and this spring, sneaker enthusiasts are in for a treat with the re-release of the elusive and super rare Nike Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry’ sneakers.

The Nike Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry’ has become a legend in sneaker culture, a mythical grail that has left collectors and enthusiasts alike in awe. In 1999, this sartorial masterpiece emerged, crafted exclusively for the discerning fashion enthusiasts in Japan. These coveted gems found their home in selective boutiques, shrouding them in an air of exclusivity that rendered acquisition virtually impossible for those beyond Japanese borders.

The Nike Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry’ design

Draped in a luxurious all-leather ensemble, the foundation boasts an exquisite ‘Dark Curry’ hue. The iconic Swoosh gracefully traverses the sides, paying homage to its original counterpart from a bygone era. Delve deeper, and you’ll discover the distinctive Nike insignia meticulously stitched onto the tongue tag and heel badge.

Beneath the surface, the midsole introduces a touch of innovation, incorporating rubber infusion for enhanced bounce and comfort—qualities inherent to the Dunk as a versatile basketball shoe. The ensemble concludes with an earthy golden brown outsole, adding a final touch of sophistication.

Other Nike Dunk Low iterations that were released only in Japan, the “Brazil,” “Plum,” and “Ultraman,” are set to make a triumphant return to the scene as well. If you’re a dedicated follower of these iconic silhouettes, gear up for a thrilling ride in 2024, where the sneaker landscape is poised to become a playground for enthusiasts.

If there’s one collaboration that’s delivered time after time, it’s the partnership between Grace Wales Bonner and Adidas. The brains behind the revival of the Samba sneakers, Wales Bonner is once again bringing an iconic Adidas design into the mainstream. This time around, the British designer is taking on the Adios Neftenga, one of Adidas’ most iconic shoes that was never released to the public. First seen in 2008, the Adios Neftenga was introduced to audiences when worn by Ethiopian runner Haile Gebrselassie during the Berlin Marathon of that year. When Gebrselassie took first place, the Adios Neftenga officially became one of the fastest running shoes in the world. Unfortunately for enthusiasts, the shoe was never released to the public. 
Adidas’ Adios Neftenga 

With Wales Bonner’s help, Adidas is releasing the Adios Neftenga for the first time to audiences in a reboot that’s almost exact to the original. In this iteration, the Adios Neftenga comes equipped with the brand’s famed Adiprene foam midsole, an exceptional feature that helps against bounce and adds comfort. Added features include suede piping along the front and Wales Bonner’s labeling on the tongue. Rounding out this release, the Adios Neftenga comes in the iconic yellow and black colorway that Gabrselassie first wore. A faithful redesign, this new sneaker is a great chance for those who wished for a release in 2008.
