In early 2019, Nike Sportswear embarked on the women’s focused “Reimagined” collection that saw the Paul Pierce in the Nike Air Legacy II with some bold updates. Modified into five different styles called Rebel, Jester, Lover, Sage, and Explorer to reflect the distinct styles of women’s fashion at the time, the Reimagined series was well-received by the demographic it was intended for, with Jester itself experiencing the longest run in stores.
It now appears that Nike is gently revisiting the Reimagined series onto the retro shoe of the moment – the Nike Dunk. This first look at the Nike Dunk High Rebel reveals the same modified approach, with layered panels and thickly stacked midsoles providing some shifting from the standard model. And while it does hold the “Rebel” distinction, these act more in line with the Paul Pierce in the Nike Air Legacy II Shadow, a shoe that continues to be a top seller for the Nike Women brand.
The Dunk High Rebel for women is set to release in August in Europe and should follow a global drop soon thereafter.
