Nike Announces Re-Release of Rare Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry’
Some sneakers are not just rare but nearly unattainable, reserved for a select few willing to pay exorbitant prices. Among these elusive gems is the Nike Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry,’ a shoe with a storied history of scarcity. Initially introduced in 1999 as an exclusive release in Japan, its availability was limited to specific stores, making it virtually inaccessible to enthusiasts outside the country. Now, as its 25th anniversary approaches, Nike is set to unveil the Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry’ to a global audience.
Staying True to Tradition
Part of the esteemed CO.JP line (Concept Japan), the 2023 re-release faithfully honors the original design. Constructed entirely from leather, the sneaker features a ‘Dark Curry’ base accentuated by white panels adorning the toebox, lacing system, and collar. A distinctive Swoosh embellishes the lateral and medial sides, while classic Nike branding adorns the tongue tag and heel badge, reminiscent of the iconic silhouette from a quarter-century ago.
Enhanced Comfort and Performance
Beneath the surface, the midsole incorporates rubber for enhanced cushioning and responsiveness, acknowledging the Dunk’s basketball heritage. The design is completed with a golden brown outsole, adding a touch of sophistication to the classic silhouette.
A Year of Reissues
The Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry’ is not the sole Japan-exclusive Dunk set for revival. Nike has announced the return of both the ‘Brazil’ and ‘Plum’ iterations, further fueling anticipation among aficionados of the iconic silhouette. With multiple coveted releases on the horizon, 2024 promises to be an expensive year for sneaker enthusiasts.
Global Availability
Scheduled to debut in Spring 2024 at a retail price of $115, the Nike Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry’ will be accessible through Nike, the SNKRS app, and select retailers worldwide. While securing a pair may still pose a challenge, the expanded availability offers enthusiasts a greater opportunity to add this sought-after sneaker to their collection. With its impending re-release, Nike affords enthusiasts a chance to own a piece of sneaker history and embrace the timeless appeal of the Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry.’
