Continuing its push for Nike Dunk Low colorways, the Beaverton-based sportswear giant seemingly has dressed the silhouette in just about every color combo imaginable with many beginning to look quite similar to previous releases. One that fits this bill is the upcoming Nike Dunk Low “Celtics” which is strikingly similar to 2022’s release of the “Lottery Pick Green” colorway.
Unlike the aforementioned lottery-inspired colorway, this “Celtics” pair comes in fresh shades of white, stadium green, and black, matching the team colors used by the Boston Celtics to a T. Stadium green leather overlays take over the mudguard, eyestays, and heel while stark white shades land on the toebox, quarter panel, and collar. Tonal green laces run up a white tongue to a retro font-laden tongue tag featuring Nike branding alongside a mini Swoosh detail. As for the standard Swoosh on the midfoot, black suede takes over alongside the Nike-branded heel tab. Underfoot sits a white Dunk midsole paired with a black rubber outsole.
Interestingly enough, this sneaker was the center of a ton of rumors. Last year, multiple sources reported that Nike SB and Heineken were teaming up on an official collaboration two decades after the Nike SB Dunk Low "Heineken" drew unofficial inspiration from Heineken's famous green, white, and red colors. After Nike SB discredited the rumor itself, the rumor shifted to the Heineken collaboration being on this pair of Stadium Green Nike Dunk Lows. Heineken themselves helped in fueling this rumor by posting a picture two of its bottles in a shoe box shortly after Tiffany officially announced its collaboration with Nike on the Tiffany Air Force 1 "1837." Needless to say, the Heineken x Nike collaboration rumor turned out to be a farce, but the consolation prize is this clean pair of Nike Dunk Low Celtics.
The Nike Dunk Low Celtics release June 13th, 2023, through Nike and select NSW retailers online and in-store. Releasing in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $110.
