News of a forthcoming collab was shared through the Nike SNKRS app today, and it showcased all 50 colorways for the project. The set was first teased by Virgil Abloh on Instagram last month, and he confirmed that the 50 pairs will make up the upcoming “Dear Summer” collection.

The teaser images broke down the various pairs based on the materials used on the shoes and from one to 10 includes canvas and leather for the gray and white upper. The next 10 pairs will utilize a combination of hairy suede and leather, but it keeps the aforementioned color palettes. The styles numbered twenty through thirty will once again offer a leather and canvas mix for the upper and from 30 to 40, the uppers feature hairy suede and leather uppers. Rounding out the last 10 pairs will be leather and canvas uppers with the number 50 of the pack being the lone black colorway of the group.

At the time of publication, the release info for the fifty Off-White x Nike Dunk collabs has not yet been shared by Nike or Abloh.

This isn’t the first time that Abloh’s Off-White label teamed up with the Swoosh to collaborate on the Dunk. The duo dropped its first Off-White x Nike Dunk Low collabs in December 2019 featuring three distinct colorways of “University Gold,” “Pine Green” and “University Red.” A year after, Off-White updated the classic Nike model by launching the Rubber Dunk.

If you missed out on the retail release, styles are still available on the secondary market. At the time of publication, the Off-White x Nike Dunk Low “University Gold” is available on StockX with the lowest ask at $575 for a men’s size 15 and as high as $1,052 for a men’s size 4.5

The Off-White x Nike Rubber Dunk is also available on StockX and at the time of press, the lowest asking price for the “University Gold” makeup is $292 for a men’s size 3.5 and the price goes as high as $621 for a men’s size 13.
