Nike continues to push the Dunk Low, even in its 40th year. While the market feels the strain of “Panda” fatigue, the Swoosh is switching things up. In August 2025, Nike will drop the Dunk Low SE “Panda” with a fresh twist.
At first glance, the colorway sticks to the beloved black-and-white formula. However, glossy black overlays now add a luxe vibe to the classic look. Additionally, the laces are given a stylish gradient treatment—shifting from black to white.
A standout detail hides behind the tongue. There, you’ll find a debossed panda face and the phrase “EST. 1985,” celebrating the Dunk’s original release year. These touches keep the design playful but refined.
Though fans may have expected a fuzzy texture, Nike kept it sleek. The patent-style shine and hidden graphics elevate this from your average Panda Dunk. It’s clearly built to honor the Dunk’s legacy without overdoing it.
Panda Dunk Low 2025 Release Date
The Nike Dunk Low SE “Panda” will release in August 2025. Expect pairs to hit select Nike Sportswear shops and Nike.com. The retail price is set at $125 USD, and it will be available in men’s sizing.
To sum it up, the Dunk Low SE “Panda” refreshes a classic with subtle flair. Be ready this August—it’s a solid drop for collectors and new fans alike.

UPDATE 7/21/25: Nike has shared official photos of the Dunk Low SE “Panda” in advance of its August 2025 debut. Made to celebrate the silhouette’s 40th Anniversary, the sneakers have glossy black overlays, gradient black-to-white laces, and a stealth panda graphic with “EST. 1985” hidden behind the tongue. The modernized build is a breath of fresh air, but the design doesn’t depart too far from the template.
