This year Nike decided to dig deep in the well of Chinese mythology for its Valentine Dunks 2024. Nike is no stranger to drawing inspiration from Chinese lore, as their yearly Chinese celebration kicks are always on point. Have you seen the upcoming Jordan 1 Year of the Dragon? Now for Valentine, the red thread of fate is the most romantic Chinese tale ever. Kinda reminds us of the masterpiece Anime movie Your Name. So after learning about the Valentine Dunks 2024 pack, you gotta put this movie at the top of your watchlist!
Let’s talk about the first pair of the Valentine Dunks 2024. This pair features a rich palette with shades of burgundy crush, dark team red, earth, dark pony, and university red. This take on the SB Dunk Low tells a story of love and connection. The upper comes in faded earthy tumbled leather overlays on top of the fluffy suede base. Moreover, the sole unit comes in a wine-speckled white aesthetic that kinda gives off a dreamy glitter effect! Finally, the brown-trimmed profile Swooshes shine in a dark team red leather finish.
The most intimate details of the Valentine Dunks are hidden in plain sight. Peek inside, and you’ll find a lush suede insole etched with a mesmerizing graphic: two hands with a red string tied around their pinky fingers. This subtle imagery showcases the Chinese Red Thread of Fate myth. The tale suggests that divine forces link individuals meant for one another, tying their destinies with an invisible red thread. This same theme applies to the tongue tag which features Nike SB branding and a red string running throughout. Gotta feel like Nike SB is the One for you!
The sail colorway is a more subtle version of the burgundy, but the features are pretty much the same. It has a similar insole graphic as if continuing the story of the burgundy pair where the two hands finally meet on one canvas. Burgundy appears in a red stitching around the Sail’s midsole, just like a red thread of soulmates!
With the Burgundy-Sail duo, Nike is going for a yin-yang vibe. You can view all the sneakers’ details here. Gotta admit that the idea is very impressive and sure as heck romantic. The coolest bit about the burgundy pair is that they were stirring away from the usual in-your-face Red. And well, the sail pair is a lowkey delight that you can rock at any given moment!
The Valentine Dunks 2024 will drop on January 29, 2024, just in time for you to celebrate the lovey-dovey holiday. Each pair will retail for $125, so make sure you don’t miss out on these babies. Why? Because they’re collection-worthy, and they surprisingly aren’t flashy, which makes them easy to style! Finally, although it’s a bit early to tell, they could make you after-market profit. Who knows? Maybe love can be the reason you make money on the side!
While there’s no love potion to get someone to fall in love with you, there’s one spell to get the sneaker your heart desires. It’s almost the same thing! That spell is none other than an all-in-one sneaker bot that can mend any broken heart, aka NSB. Now if you’re not into getting these sweet Dunks for you and your soulmate and love is not looking like an option, you can still benefit. Cop the Valentine Dunks 2024 in bulk and make a sweet profit reselling them! Maybe money doesn’t buy love, but it buys you sneakers.
