The Nike Dunk Low "Panda Patent" Arrives Fall 2026
Updated 2 days ago
Quick Summary
Nike is revisiting one of its most recognizable silhouettes for Fall 2026 with the Dunk Low "Panda Patent," a materials-driven update to the black-and-white colorway that helped make the Dunk Low a cultural fixture over the past several years. Rather than reworking the palette, Nike keeps the same two-tone formula and lets the finish do the talking.
The upper retains the classic structure fans know well. White leather covers the toe box, side panels, collar, and tongue, preserving the clean foundation of the original design. Black patent leather takes over on the mudguard, eyestays, Swoosh, heel overlay, and heel tab, bringing a reflective sheen that contrasts with the matte white base. A white midsole, black rubber outsole, and black laces round out the build. Interior white piping and matching tongue piping add a small but deliberate detail that opens the shoe up slightly, keeping the look from feeling too flat despite the glossy overlays.
The Nike Dunk Low "Panda Patent" is set to release during Fall 2026 via Nike and select retailers. Pricing has not been confirmed. To stay informed on all things Nike and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
