The Nike Dunk High “Culture Day” Celebrates the Naumann Japanese Elephant

Nike debuts a new colorway of the Nike Dunk High, the Nike Dunk High “Culture Day.” This sneaker pays homage to the sneaker communities and unique styles of districts of Ueno, Shibuya, and Harajuku.

The upper of this sneaker was inspired by the Naumann Elephant, an extinct species that was native to Japan during the Middle to Late Pleistocene period. Because of that, the pair has grey suede overlays while the underlays feature crumbled leather. Next, we have the Swoosh that comes in smooth white leather and the tongue opts for its usual nylon. Lastly, details include an image on the insoles and underneath the translucent outsole have a graphic print inspired by the fast-moving cities in Asia.

The Nike Dunk High “Culture Day” releases in Asia on April 27, 2022. The price is unknown. To purchase visit select retailers, SNKRS Korea, and Nike.com. Check out our Sneakers Release Date for more upcoming drops.
