The Nike Panda Dunk has been the butt of plenty of jokes about sneaker culture and the Dunk renaissance over the last few years. This Summer, Nike is releasing a special-edition pair of the color to celebrate the shoe’s fortieth anniversary.
The Dunk has been a staple for Nike’s releases over the last five years, after they flooded the market with the iconic shoe back in 2020. One of their first releases that year was a simple black & white style that quickly became known as the Panda Dunk, becoming a seasonal release from the Swoosh with new pairs released globally every few months. Now, the brand is backing off on the iconic shoe, after celebrating its fortieth anniversary in 2025.
Nike has cooked up a new pair of the Dunk Low SE to celebrate the model’s forty year tenure in their catalog, and they are finally issuing a true panda-inspired pair for the occasion. The new look leans into the bear-inspired look, with flashy patent leather overlays and tongue tags, gradient white & black laces, and a panda logo on the inner tongues. The shoe’s overlay panels come in a washed look, almost appearing purple in some lighting, making this pair the truest form of the panda colorway.
