Nike Dunk Mid 'Social Status Free Lunch Strawberry Milk' (2021)
Description
The Nike Dunk Mid 'Social Status Free Lunch Strawberry Milk' (2021) is one of the most distinctive collaborations to emerge from Nike and Social Status, drawing inspiration from childhood nostalgia and the simple joy of school lunches. Released in 2021 as part of the "Free Lunch" collection, the sneaker celebrates the universal memories associated with cafeteria meals while highlighting the importance of access to nutritious food. Unlike traditional Dunk releases, this special-edition Nike Dunk Mid incorporates premium materials, layered detailing, and storytelling elements that elevate it beyond a standard lifestyle sneaker. The playful "Strawberry Milk" color palette, combined with thoughtful construction, has made it a standout collaboration among collectors and Dunk enthusiasts alike.
Overview
The Nike Dunk Mid 'Social Status Free Lunch Strawberry Milk' (2021) features a premium leather upper dressed in soft pink hues inspired by strawberry milk cartons, complemented by textured suede overlays and exposed foam details that create a deconstructed aesthetic. A translucent Swoosh reveals a mesh-like layer beneath, while woven fabrics, frayed edges, and tear-away design elements reinforce the collection's storytelling approach. The tongue showcases exposed foam construction for a vintage-inspired finish, while special collaborative branding appears throughout the shoe and packaging. Underfoot, a classic Nike Dunk sole unit delivers the familiar comfort and traction that has defined the silhouette for decades. Every design choice reflects the collaboration's nostalgic theme, blending premium craftsmanship with meaningful storytelling.

WHY OUR PRICES
The honest answer. The question we hear most: how can you sell the same sneakers for so much less? Here's the full, transparent breakdown — not a marketing line.
Where your money goes
At a boutique — $400
- The shoe itself ~15–25%
- Flagship store rent overhead
- Global advertising overhead
- Celebrity partnerships overhead
- Multi-layer distribution overhead
At Sole Dept
- The shoe itself what you pay for
- Boutique rent removed
- Advertising levy removed
- Celebrity premium removed
- Intermediary margins removed
Why we can do it
Production cost
The materials, construction and labour in a quality pair are a fraction of the boutique price. The rest is overhead and brand premium.
The retail mark-up
Brands add huge mark-ups to fund advertising, flagship stores and distribution across dozens of countries — you pay for all of it, whether you want to or not.
The Sole Dept difference
We source directly through UA (unauthorised authentic) supply lines. Lean operating costs, and every dollar saved is passed to you at checkout.
PACKAGING & WHATS INCLUDED
Every pair arrives complete. When your order lands, it looks and feels exactly the way it should — the full retail presentation, nothing stripped out. Here's precisely what comes in the box.
What's in every order
Original branded box
Each pair ships in its correct branded shoe box with the matching size label and SKU — the same box the silhouette is meant to come in, protected inside an outer shipping carton so it arrives crush-free.
Complete original packaging
Tissue paper, silica packs, the branded wrapping and inserts that shape the shoe in transit — all present, just as you'd expect from a boutique unboxing.
Dust bags
Where the model is issued with dust bags, they're included — ideal for storing your pair, keeping it clean between wears, and travelling with it.
Extras & spares
Spare laces, alternate lace colours, replacement parts and any accessories that ship with the original — included in the box exactly as intended.
Free gift with every order
On top of the full packaging, every Sole Dept order includes a complimentary free gift as a thank-you — a small extra tucked in the box, on us.
