The Nike Dunk High "Year Of The Tiger" Is Full of Wild Details

Earlier this month, we took a sneak peek of the Dunk Low "Year Of The Tiger". Just when we thought that was the fiercest feline-themed colourway to drop this year, we're now getting our first looks at the Nike Dunk High "Year Of The Tiger", and it's arguably even wilder than the Low variant. Made to celebrate Chinese New Year, it's time to get up close and personal with this upcoming colourway!

How do we begin to describe this Dunk? With an ultra premium construction, the front half of the sneaker is dipped in a crisp grey hue, while the back half is painted in all-black. Tiger stripe detailing makes its way to the heel, while cloud illustrations are finely stitched onto the Swoosh and lacing system in a traditional Chinese art style.

Royal gold embroidery finds its way across the vamp with words of good fortune, and the tongue boasts a unique folded design that's fastened with a classic Chinese slide knot. Flipping the panel over and you'll find a set of three sycee which was a type of gold and silver ingot currency used in imperial China. This all comes packaged within a complementary gold Nike shoebox that comes complete with a luxurious satin cloth included.

There's no news yet on when the Nike Dunk High "Year Of The Tiger" will release, but unlike the Low version this will be available in adult sizing. With the Lunar New Year arriving on February 1st this year, expect these to go live in just a matter of days. Let us know what you think of this pair, and while you're here, you might as well take a detailed look at the CLOT x Nike Dunk High!
