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.

Fast forward to the present day, and the iconic sneakers are set to mark their 25th anniversary, shedding their exclusive past. Nike is gearing up for a global celebration, liberating the Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry’ from its geographical confinement. As the anniversary countdown commences, one can’t help but anticipate the inevitable allure, knowing all too well that lovers, once again, are poised to embark on a lavish spending spree.

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.

Continuing their collaboration, Stone Island and New Balance again reclaim a classic silhouette. A modern reimagining of a traditional sneaker, the new collaborative sneaker includes all of the brand's performance details. Donning a vintage iteration, the new sneaker is about meshing the two brands' vision for innovation. Using Stone Island’s signature Raso Gommato fabric as inspiration, the design is a classic mix of two iconic brands. The Raso Gammato, inspired by military fabric, has been a part of the Italian brand’s heritage since the 80s. This iconic fabric returns to another classic staple, the New Balance 998. Although this long-term partnership has seen various designs, this release marks the first time the duo has created a Made in USA sneaker, making this an even more special drop.

Taking on the historic 998 model, New Balance and Stone Island have reimagined one of the athletic brand’s most recognizable silhouettes. First introduced in 1993, the New Balance 998 became the first sneaker to incorporate the brand’s ABZORB cushioning, a centerpiece to New Balance’s mission for comfort and performance. In this new sneaker, the duo uses Stone Island’s Raso Gommato, a polyurethane-coated canvas material, for the shoe’s upper. Nubuck overlays and reflective details add texture and dimension to the design’s body. Also included are the classic “N” logo, heel tab, and upper accents. The sneaker will come in a mauve, deep plum, and copper maroon colorway for the drop. To mark the special release, co-branding details can be found throughout the design with the words “new balance 998” and “stone island product research.” Although pricing has not yet been revealed, the sneaker is set to drop on March 27 via Stone Island’s website and select retailers. However, access is limited to those with a valid MyStoneIsland account.
