Jovani Hernandez It’s no secret: the Nike Dunk Low continues to be an important sneaker design for the Swoosh. As the silhouette inches closer to its 40th anniversary, the brand seems poised to revisit some of its most iconic styles from the last handful of decades.
Recently, news of several CO.JP (Concept Japan) releases returning hit the internet, with the latest claiming 1999’s “Ultraman” will return for the first time ever. Although the “Metallic Silver” and “Varsity Red” pair formed part of Nike’s VNTG collection in 2011, the offering – reminiscent of the Japanese sci-fi character Ultraman from the 1960s – has never returned in original form. The rumored reissue, however, aims to bring the once-Japan-exclusive style to the masses with specifications directly transplanted from 24 years ago. “Plum” and “Brazil” counterparts are also expected to return in 2024.
Enjoy in-house photography of a pair from 1999 ahead, as you wait for firm Nike SNKRS launch details.
