An annual festival that celebrates the first day of spring in Japan's old calendar inspires the Nike Dunk Low Premium ‘Setsubun.’ The essence of the festival, which is intended to dismiss bad luck and evil spirits from the previous year, is echoed in the low-top's details. The leather upper in beige has a lightly crackled surface with brown and tan overlays. An image of Japanese warrior Tsuno Daishi is stitched on the lateral heel in purple, with playful Swooshes-as-horns. Additional purple hits appear in the signature Swoosh and lining of the collar. Artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi created the sockliner graphics that picture folk hero Kintarō.
