Over the years, Nike’s Lunar New Year sneakers have become awaited items for fans. The Year of the Snake officially starts on January 29, 2025. These new Dunk Lows are expected to arrive around that date.

The Nike Dunk Low “Year of the Snake” sports the essence of the Lunar New Year with a color palette that reflects the traditional festival shades. The primary colors featured on the sneakers are light olive green and white. These colors are complemented by accents in brown and hints of red, which adds a contrast to the primary colors. This color combination aligns with the traditional New Year colors of Chinese culture.

The upper part of the sneaker maintains the usual Dunk Low structure. The overlays are mainly white, and the base comes in light green. Textured snake-like patterns are subtly integrated into the overall design. A mini gold Swoosh is positioned on the lateral toe box.

Inside, this colorway of Nike Dunk Low features a brown satin lining. This textured lining is a subtle nod to the Year of the Snake. The Dunk Low “Year of the Snake” sports a silver Swoosh on the side. A red stitching is sported toward the heel. The gum outsole features an earthy shade.

House of Heat is a retailer of this latest edition of the sneaker line, and below is what the retailer had to mention about the shoes:

"The Nike Dunk Low "Year of the Snake" is set to release in Spring 2025, offering a stylish nod to the Lunar New Year celebrations.
