Boston-based sneaker boutique Bodega is reportedly collaborating on its own Nike Dunk High later this year.
According to py_rates, there will be two versions of the collaborative Dunk High arriving in late-2020, including "Pearl White/Magic Ember-Team Orange" and "Sail/Multi-Color-Birch-Rustic" makeups. Images of the shoes have not yet leaked, but the mock-ups suggest that each pair is distinguished by either a white or sail-based upper that's paired with contrasting multicolored or orange accents on the Swoosh.
As of now, the brands have yet to unveil the Bodega x Nike Dunk High collab but it's rumored to release sometime during this year's holiday season.
UPDATE (10/21): As the release nears, a first look has surfaced for one of the two Bodega x Nike Dunk High styles courtesy of Solebyjc. The upper consists of a soft suede construction with a jewel Swoosh appearing on the lateral side while "Bodega" branding is stamped on the medial portion. The shoe's standout feature is the thick, baseball glove-like stitching seen throughout the upper including on the sides, sock liner, and heel. As of now, the release date for this Bodega x Nike Dunk High has yet to be confirmed by the brands, but keep it locked to Sole Collector for updates.
UPDATE (12/18): Additional details behind the design of Bodega's Dunk High "Legend" collab has been revealed. According to the Swoosh, the look of the shoe celebrates the collective spirit of the boutique and the team's nostalgic ties to baseball. Bodega is also honoring creative director Marvin Jason Bynoe with this collab, who passed away on March 20, 2020.
"He was the type of role model all of us at Bodega strive to be, and in our eyes holds a certified legend status," says Bodega designer Drew White. "This Dunk is for the individuals in a crew that impact or influence everyone."
The Bodega x Nike Dunk High "Legend" will be released at bdgastore.com on Dec. 28 followed by another drop via SNKRS on Dec. 30 for a retail price of $120.
UPDATE (12/24): After surfacing earlier this year, Bodega confirmed the release details surrounding its friends-and-family-exclusive Dunk High "Legend" collab. One in every twenty pairs of the brown-based "Legend" Bodega x Nike Dunk High will come with a pack of limited edition sports cards that includes a voucher for a free pair of the exclusive friends-and-family iteration when it releases on Dec. 28 at bdgastore.com for $120.
