The sneakers are finished in the band’s emblematic colors, Black and Goldenrod, making them instantly recognizable.
Nike Dunk High “Wu-Tang” Review
Wu-Tang Clan emerged from Staten Island, New York, in the early 1990s. They revolutionized hip-hop with their gritty sound and unique lyrics. The group was formed by RZA, GZA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, and Masta Killa. Their debut album, released in 1993, is hailed as one of the greatest hip-hop albums.
Over the years, the Wu-Tang Clan has built a massive legacy, influencing countless artists and branching out into various business ventures, including fashion. Their collaboration with Nike in 1999 was a natural extension of their cultural impact, merging the worlds of music and sneaker culture.
