Detailed Look at the Nike Dunk Low Setsubun
Nike is gearing up to welcome the spring season with the highly anticipated release of the Nike Dunk Low Setsubun, a design deeply rooted in the traditional Japanese festival of Setsubun. This unique sneaker pays homage to the ancient cultural celebration that marks the end of winter and ushers in the warmth and renewal of spring.
The Setsubun festival is a time-honored Japanese tradition, during which people partake in the practice of throwing beans to ward off evil spirits, symbolized by the fearsome Oni mask. Drawing inspiration from this rich heritage, the Nike Dunk Low Setsubun showcases a vibrant colorway that channels the lively spirit of the festival and incorporates an Oni mask design on both shoes as a nod to the ancient custom.
The upper of the Nike Dunk Low Setsubun boasts a stylish blend of premium suede and leather materials in earthy shades of brown, punctuated by eye-catching purple accents on the lining and swooshes. The upper is complemented by a crisp white midsole, which houses insoles adorned with intricate artwork by renowned artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi, who masterfully captures the essence of the traditional bean-throwing ceremony.
In line with the esteemed Nike Dunk legacy, the Setsubun edition features a padded collar and tongue for enhanced comfort and support, as well as a sturdy rubber outsole. For more information on this release and where you can cop them, click on the drop below!
