The Sole Supplier Edit #9: Nike Dunk "Reverse Panda"

Changing the game once and for all, the Nike Dunk “Panda” (including the Dunk High, but especially the low-top) has been responsible for widening the scene to so many more people than were aware of it before, and pretty much defines the world of sneakers in 2021 and 2022. Whilst many critics thought that the colourway, and even the silhouette, had run its course last year, in its 37th year, the Dunk continues to prove it has a hold on the sneaker community that no other competing silhouette comes close to.

Whilst the original “Panda” drops saw a white base decorated with black overlays, recently Nike has re-run the colourway and offered up an alternative for those of us who were failing to get our hands on the OG time and time again. In comes the Nike Dunk “Reverse Panda”, in both high and low-top form.

Coming in crisp, smooth leather, these Dunks deliver a premium feel that goes way beyond the price tag. Both sneakers feature an all-white upper, with a black Swoosh standing out loud and proud on the medial and lateral sidewalls, as well as black colouring at the top of the tongue highlighting Nike’s iconic branding. Further contrasting tones can be seen embroidered onto the heel panel, and the laces also come in a strong black hue.

Perforations across the toe box allow for enhanced breathability, whilst a cushioned tongue and padded midsole provide extra comfort. Unlike the title suggests, these “Reverse Panda” Dunks aren’t exact inversions of the original design, but are guaranteed to deliver the same look and feel.

Easy to style and ridiculously good-looking, cop your pair of black and white Nike Dunks by using the links on this page, and don’t forget to keep it locked to The Sole Supplier app for further hot Nike drops.
