After a preview at New York Fashion Week, Tokyo fashion label AMBUSH and Nike teamed up once again to deliver a new colorway with the Nike Dunk High Ambush Active Fuchsia. The collaboration nods to the culture surrounding transportation in Japan, which explains the re-imagined proportions on the silhouette that almost make it look aerodynamic.
The Nike Dunk High Ambush Fuchsia arrives with an Active Fuschia leather upper and an exaggerated Swoosh that protrudes the heel. Aside from the re-imagined Swoosh, other features differentiate this design from traditional Nike Dunks like a raised heel counter with significant separation on the back of the shoe, revealing a larger amount of Active Fuschia leather paneling, and an extended plastic unit donning Ambush branding encapsulates the heel. An exposed foam tongue, Active Fuchsia sole, and co-branded tongue tag add the finishing touches to the avant-garde design.
The Nike Dunk High Ambush Fuchsia released in February of 2021.

Tokyo-based fashion label AMBUSH teamed up with Nike to add an abstract twist to the Dunk High silhouette with the Nike Dunk High Ambush Black. This collaboration draws its inspiration from Japanese bike, car, and truck culture, which explains the re-imagined proportions on the silhouette that almost make it look aerodynamic. Features like the extended Swoosh and prominent heel counter nod to the extended tail pipes and lifted rear chassis of motorcycles and trucks.
The Nike Dunk High Ambush Black arrives with a white and black leather upper in traditional color blocking (a design format similar to early Nike Dunk releases in 1985), and an exaggerated Swoosh that extends beyond the heel. Outside of the re-imagined Swoosh, other features differentiate this design from traditional Nike Dunks like a raised heel counter with significant separation on the back of the shoe, revealing a larger amount of white leather panelling, and an extended black plastic unit donning Ambush branding encapsulates the heel. An exposed foam tongue, white sole, and co-branded tongue tag complete this design.
The Nike Dunk High Ambush Black released in December of 2020.

Adding to their collection of idiosyncratic Nike Dunks, Nike and AMBUSH bring a Deep Royal colorway to the unique silhouette. An exaggerated black Swoosh extends towards the heel and from there, bold AMBUSH branding projects off an elevated heel cap. Lastly, Deep Royal leather overlays are stacked on white leather panels to complete the design.
The Nike Dunk High AMBUSH Deep Royal released in June of 2021.

2020 is the year full of surprises, as Nike collaborates with Boston-based boutique, Bodega, on the Nike Dunk High. Unlike any other Dunk to drop in 2020, this special partnership delivers a heavily detailed sneaker, which, described by the shop, is based on "Classic Americana". The unexpected release merges two sports, basketball and baseball, into one while hitting on cultural moments in American style and history.
Constructed to look like a traditional baseball mitt, the Nike Dunk High Bodega Legend Fauna Brown's upper features a mix of textures and hues, as both suede and pebbled leather make up the majority of the sneaker. In addition to materials, specific details such as iron-branded Bodega on the medial side, jeweled tortoiseshell Nike Swoosh on the lateral side, and rawhide lacing throughout the sneaker's entirety elevate the sneaker's status. A stash pocket is added inside the tongue, a head nod to a baseball mitt's inner webbed pocket.
The Nike Dunk High Bodega Legend Fauna Brown released in December 2020.

Nike never misses a Chinese New Year release and 2021 was jammed packed with a bunch to commemorate the annual celebration. Alongside drops from Jordan Brand and Converse, the Swoosh also added the Nike Dunk Low to the mix.
The Nike Dunk Low Firecracker pays homage to a staple found in most New Year celebrations, the firecracker. The sneaker's upper is composed of an abundance of loud graphics. The blue leather upper shows off words like "BANG!" and "WARNING", mimicking similar advertising found on firecracker packaging. Dot-patterns cover each aqua-colored leather panel and flat cream laces complete this special edition.
The Nike Dunk Low Firecracker released in January of 2021 in China.
Style: CZ9747-900
Colorway: Multi-Color/Midnight Turquoise-Cardinal Red-Lemon Wash
Release Date: 2020.09.10.
Nike added a psychedelic new look to the Dunk Low catalog with the unique Nike Dunk Low Community Garden. Also known as the Nike Dunk Lemon Wash, this colorway follows a similar theme that the Nike Space Hippie collection is known for.
The Nike Dunk Low Community Garden features a dyed and printed patchworked canvas upper with hits of red, teal, and gold on the toe box, Swoosh, and heel tab. The design's patchwork graphics are applied in a random pattern so that each pair appears as a one-of-one. A white midsole and Grind Rubber outsole, which is primarily featured in the Space Hippie collection, add the finishing touches.
