One of the far-reaching trends of the early ’20s thus far is the “Panda” look — particularly on the Nike Dunk. Hitting the masses courtesy of the Dunk Low in particular, Nike has capitalized on the craze with a myriad of takes — including the recently-revealed “Red Panda” twist and the all-leather Dunk Mid version of the “Panda” look. Looking back at its history, we assembled a breakdown of the best “Panda” looks of all time earlier this year.

Now, another colorway has entered the conversation with a “Vintage Panda” edition of the Dunk Low. The usual white leather base is present with the overlays favoring black cracked leather, offering a retro feel on the sneaker. A black ribbed lining is visible with a slight off-white hue gracing the laces. Elsewhere, the midsole has been yellowed to further back the vintage appeal while a black rubber outsole offers contrast in the typical “Panda” arrangement.

Having just surfaced officially via the Swoosh, no release details pertaining to the Nike Dunk Low “Vintage Panda” have been disclosed just yet. However, you can expect it to land on shelves via Nike and select retailers by the end of the year at a $125 USD price point.

Looking for more of the latest news from the footwear industry? We’ve got you covered. The Nike Air Force 1 Low is joining the brand’s Halloween-themed lineup for 2023, taking on a scaly black upper adorned with thematic hits.
