Hip-hop, sneakers, bees, and basketball collide in Nike’s film to mark the re-release of its 1999 Wu-Tang Clan Dunk High model, which debuted on the latter’s SNKRS app in early November.

“The Hive,” sees the hip-hop group’s architect, RZA, play beekeeper on a New York City rooftop, while fellow Wu-Tang Clan rapper Raekwon narrates why the insects (which share their colors both the band’s logo and the iconic sneaker) are important to the natural ecosystem.
