Nike Dunk Low ‘Setsubun’ Tan/Brown-Purple

Introducing the Nike Dunk Low Setsubun Devil, a sneaker that commemorates the traditional Japanese festival known as Setsubun. This festival, celebrated on the day before spring in the old Japanese calendar, is a time to ward off evil spirits and welcome good fortune. The Nike Dunk Low Setsubun Devil captures the essence of this festival with its unique design and meaningful details.

The shoe features a creamy-hued smooth leather base on the toe box and quarter, giving it a clean and classic look. Dark brown suede covers the toe cap, mudguard, and heel, adding depth and texture to the design. The eyestay panel and foxing are a stone-colored brown, complementing the overall color scheme.

The standout element of the Nike Dunk Low Setsubun Devil is the eye-catching purple suede Swooshes. These Swooshes not only add a pop of color but also symbolize the horned demon masks worn during the Setsubun festival. On the lateral heel, you’ll find an embroidered Swoosh-branded horned demon mask, further emphasizing the festival’s theme.

But the real highlight of this shoe is the insoles. They feature the famous artwork “Kintoki Throwing Beans at Fleeing Demons” by Ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi. This artwork depicts the main ritual of Setsubun, where roasted soybeans are thrown to drive away demons. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the artwork bring the spirit of the festival to life.

Completing the design is a white midsole and a semi-translucent caramel-colored gum outsole, adding a touch of contrast and finishing off the shoe’s look.

The Nike Dunk Low Setsubun Devil is not just a stylish sneaker; it is also a meaningful tribute to a traditional Japanese festival. Whether you’re a sneaker enthusiast or someone who appreciates cultural symbolism, this shoe is a must-have. Step into the festival spirit and ward off evil spirits with the Nike Dunk Low Setsubun Devil. Don’t miss your chance to own this unique and meaningful piece of footwear.
