Nike is ready to re-enter the 36 Chambers. More than two decades after first releasing the Wu-Tang “Killa Bees” Nike Dunk high-top sneakers, Wu-Tang fans are buzzing about a new collaboration between the sneaker giant and hip-hop group.

The Nike x Wu-Tang Clan Dunk will be released on Nov. 9. The limited release will be available on the SNKRS app and at select retail locations.

“These Dunks are important to me and the Wu-Tang legacy because of the cultural impact they’ve had since their original release,” RZA of Wu-Tang Clan said in a statement to Nike. “For many years, the sneaker world was reserved for athletes and some entertainers, and Nike recognizing us in this way is a testament to hip-hop and our contribution to culture.”

He continued, “The shoe has already carved out a legacy as a silhouette people were striving to possess, and now thousands of people will have a chance to own a pair. These sneakers are a trophy.”

In September, fans landed exclusive access to the shop Nike x Wu-Tang release through Spotify. A limited number of sneakers will be available for Wu-Tang’s top listeners via Spotify Fans First. The exclusive release launched on Sept. 28 at 9 p.m. ET and ended on Oct. 4, or until supplies were available.

Spotify’s Fans First rewards program offers artists’ top fans access to limited-edition merch, presale tickets and more.

Wu-Tang fans have been waiting months for the release. Over the summer, Nike shared what looks like a sneak peek of the Wu-Tang Clan collaboration, via the Nike Sportswear Instagram account.

The post, featuring black and pollen yellow high-top Nike Dunks covered in bees, was shared on the Wu-Tang Clan’s social media accounts and has received over 1,000 comments and more than 70,000 likes.

Nike released just 36 pairs of the original Wu-Tang “Killa Bees” Nike Dunk High back in 1999. The original Wu-Tang Clan high-top Dunks are available on eBay for a whopping $45,000.

While fans await the re-release, the classic Nike Dunk Low are trendy for fall, and being that we’re in a new season, it’s time to refresh your kicks. The Nike Dunk Low is available for $115 and the Nike Dunk High retails for $130. Shop bestsellers at Nike.com.
