The black and white-based iteration of the Nike Dunk has been unofficially dubbed “Panda” based on its similarities to the colors found on a Panda bear. Despite the loose connection, the Swoosh has not confirmed that the color scheme is linked to the animal.

Thus far, Nike has released several versions of the “Panda” Dunks including a “Next Nature” version of the sneaker created with repurposed materials.

“Created for the hardwood but taken to the streets, the ’80s icon returns to let you do good by looking good. Now made from at least 20% recycled materials by weight, we refreshed a classic that keeps the original integrity with a minimized impact,” Nike wrote for the product description of the “Next Nature” style.

Although images of the Nike Dunk Low “Reverse Panda” were shared by @zSneakerheadz on Instagram, release details for the shoe have not yet been announced by the brand.
