Sneaker Release Roundup: Dunks, AF1s, and More

The Nike Dunk takes over this week's releases, from a new take on the “Panda” to an earth tone “Setsubun” colorway. Alongside the fan-favorite silhouette, Nike has something special for women sneaker enthusiasts, — namely an Air Force 1 model and multi color Air Max. Take a look at our favorite drops below and mark your calendars for these releases happening this week.

1. Nike Dunk Mid “Panda”

Release Date: April 11, 2023

SKU: DV0830-102

Price: $115

Buy: NIKE

​You may be tired of the Panda Dunk as it’s been an extremely popular restock for the last several months, but it’s a great starter Dunk and easy to get your hands on for those looking to start their sneaker rotation. Here, Nike is bringing us another rendition of the infamous silhouette in a mid-style, showcasing the classic black and white colorway.

2. Nike Dunk Low “Setsubun”

Release Date: April 11, 2023

SKU: DQ5009-268

Price: $120

Buy: SNKRS

Another colorway in this season’s lineup of Dunks this season is a design inspired by Japan’s annual Setsubun festival. Marking the start of spring, this festival is believed to cleanse your home of bad luck and bring good luck and fortune. A popular tradition is the “mamemaki,” or roasted bean-throwing ceremony, where the beans are thrown to ward off evil spirits. This design features natural colors and a contrasting sharp purple swoosh atop the nubuck leather upper. On the outer heel is a horned “demon,” Tsuno Daishi aka The Great Horned Master.

3. Nike Dunk Low WMNS “Needlework”

Release Date: April 12, 2023

SKU: FJ4553-133

Price: $120

Buy: Nike

A women’s release is always extra special given how difficult it still is for us to get our hands on a popular drop. This Sail, Tawny, Photon Dust and Metallic Silver is giving mellow color blocking. The devil is in the details, and these details include a cursive ‘Nike’ on the heel tag, decorative Swooshes on the side, and hefty rope laces.

4. Nike Air Force 1 Low WMNS “Celestine Blue”

Release Date: April 13, 2023

SKU: FJ4591-441

Price: $125

Buy: SNKRS

A fresh take on the iconic AF1 is on its way with the Celestine Blue and Lemon Wash colorway. The perfect mix of materials includes corduroy, floral jacquard, and animal print, which you can see on the heels, the insole, and an extra pair of laces. Finishing the design is a yellowed, aged-like rubber sole.

5. Nike Air Max 1 WMNS

Release Date: April 13, 2023

SKU: FJ4605-441

Price: $180

Buy: SNKRS

​The ladies are being shown some love as with another women’s drop. If the AF1 isn’t your style but you still like the design, maybe the classic Air Max 1 is more your flavor, both feature similar patterns and a pastel colorway.

6. CLOT x Nike Cortez “Forrest Gump”

Release Date: April 14, 2023

SKU: DZ3239-100

The CLOT x Nike Cortez "Forrest Gump" is a special collaboration between the Hong Kong-based label and Nike. The shoe pays homage to the original Cortez colorway which regained its popularity from the classic film "Forrest Gump" with a red, white, and blue colorway. This is a 3-in-1 design and can be worn as is, as just a sneaker, or as a slip-on, indoor house shoe. The shoe features a white leather upper and red swoosh, while the slip-on design has the blue Nike swoosh. The design includes a co-branded tongue tag and CLOT's signature silk detailing on the laces. This release is a must-have for fans of the OG Cortez silhouette and the beloved film.
