Social Status Brings Their Milk Carton Inspiration To The Nike Dunk Mid “Free Lunch”

Back in June, it was revealed that Social Status would be reprising their collaborative relationship with Nike. The Dunk Low that ensued, which was ostensibly a kids-exclusive, referenced the free meals provided to underserved communities in the Summer. Specifically, the two colorways took a magnifying glass to the milk cartons included, referencing both strawberry and chocolate varieties through a vibrant, colorful lens.

Today, the two palettes are back in the spotlight as they’re also due to dress a Dunk Mid later this Fall. Both, height aside, resemble their low-top counterparts to near exact spec. Suedes, leathers, and much softer textiles run replete throughout the construction, colored in a fashion identical to the aforementioned. Branding-wise, the Swoosh and tongue label still bear a GEL and Tyvek finish, though the text along the medial heel is far less brief. Instead, it display a much larger ingredients list that is as follows: “Nike Sportswear, Social Status, Milky TPU Gel Swoosh, YY Velvet, Diffuse Nubuck, Microbial Textile Lining, Tyvek Label, Round Twisted Poly Laces.”

For a closer look at both pairs, see below. A release, as indicated by the inside tag, should arrive later this Fall 2021.
