Released in August 2021 under style code DN2489-300, the special-edition Dunk draws inspiration from Nike's NY vs. NY summer streetball tournament and the iconic courts associated with New York's basketball culture. Its distinctive combination of green, white and orange delivers a colourway that balances the classic proportions of the Dunk Low with a distinctly New York-inspired identity.
