Nike Dia De Muertos – Kicks Worthy of La Calavera Catrina!

Besides the obvious athletic facet of the brand, Nike puts a lot of effort into the cultural side of things. And today, this effort will take us all the way to Mexico to celebrate the Dia De Los Muertos or Day of the Dead. For those unfamiliar, you can read all about the Mexican holiday here. Now, merge the two things, and you get Nike Dia De Muertos. From colorful kicks to family bonds, this year’s Dia De Muertos kicks won’t disappoint! But before we take a look at these babies, make sure you check out this year’s Halloween sneakers. Now, shall we?

Nike Dia De Muertos Bringing Heat to the Holiday!

Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, you gotta admit how cool the Nike Dia De Muertos line is. While it’s pretty much the norm today, the first Day of the Dead kicks dropped back in 2006. These babies are currently worth about $3,000 in resale! The sneaker industry had just blown up and was becoming a part of the culture, not just for the underground. Collaborations, partnerships, and themed sneakers became a thing from then on!

So today, we’re gonna check out one of our favorite themes: Nike Dia De Muertos. This year’s collection will include one Air Jordan and one Nike Dunk! But that’s not all, because Nike is Converse’s parent company, so we decided to include them too. Now, let’s start, shall we?

Air Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT 2 Dia De Muertos

Release Date: 10/21/2023
Retail: $165
Avg. Resale: $700
SKU: FQ8155-010

For those who like their sneakers to look lowkey sharp, this one is just for you. The black and white colorway is pretty simple. However, the black brush-off leather on the upper reveals a beautiful flower embroidery. And while that sounds like a pretty packed shoe, it surprisingly works really well.

Nike Dunk Low Dia De Muertos (W)

Release Date: 10/21/2023
Retail: $125
Avg. Resale: $700-$1,000
SKU: FQ8148-010

This pair is a tribute to the folklore of Dia De Muertos. Instead of the usual leather, we have a mishmash of textures and colors. For starters, the golden base is a nod to the marigold flower that is believed to attract the souls of the dead to the ofrenda. Meanwhile, the leather overlays feature a texture similar to hummingbird wings. Finally, the hummingbird embroidery seals the deal. Why? Because the Aztecs believed that the spirits of the dead return as hummingbirds and butterflies. And the holiday started with the Aztecs, so you can see how everything fits!

Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star Lift Platform Dia De Muertos (W)

Release Date: Available
Retail: $80
Avg. Resale: N/A
SKU: A07988C

Last but not least, Converse is outdoing itself with the upcoming Dia De Muertos Chuck Taylor All-Star Lift Platform offering! This year’s pair features a sail upper, but it’s the details that matter here. For example, the colorful stitching and heel graphic embroidery? Chef’s kiss. The outsole also comes in yellow as a tribute to marigolds. Finally, the apellido tongue lining graphic where you write the family names of your loved ones!
