The Nike Dunk has fallen off a cliff from its panda-monium heyday earlier this decade, but the legacy lifestyle model is still one of the strongest silhouettes in the Beaverton catalog when it comes to conveying a story through a sneaker. That tradition will continue in 2026 as we turn the lunar calendar to the Year of the Horse.
The Nike Dunk Low Year of the Horse is the latest silhouette added to the Swoosh’s 2026 Chinese New Year collection, combining linen, hazel, phantom, olive, and sail for a medley of earth tones. The toe and lace panel are done in white leather, the toebox and heel support are light brown, with ornate textured detail and horse graphics covering the heel. The side panels are olive green, with a dark brown Swoosh and a smaller crimson red swoosh overlapping it. The lace lock features a winged horse and the tongue label features a scenic desertscape where a horse might roam.
Beyond the Dunk Low, Nike’s Year of the Horse collection features a similarly designed Air Force 1 with a matching red mini Swoosh and a Ja 3 in red and brown. Additionally, Nike is adding a Field General, LD-1000, P-6000, and more to the Lunar New Year pack.
The Nike Dunk Low year of the Horse will be released Spring 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $130. For all the latest Nike holiday sneaker news, stay locked in to the Sole Retriever mobile app.
