Nike SB’s holiday-themed Dunk for late 2025 has surfaced this week, giving us an early look at a special-edition pair inspired by the darker side of Christmas. The “Krampus” theme is not new to the SB team, and returns this time as the Dunk Low.
The first Krampus-themed release from Nike SB released back in 2012, as a collaboration with artist Sean Cliver, dressing the Dunk High in an eerie black and red colorway. Now, it appears the SB team is running back the Krampus-inspired look with a new color scheme and different materials, as well as using their signature low-top Dunk as the canvas. Krampus is a folklore from Central Europe that acts as the anti-Santa, punishing naughty children in early December, and appears as a half-goat, half-demon creature.
The upcoming new “Krampus” edition of the SB Dunk Low brings some interesting material changes to the iconic shoe. The upper is crafted from a cracked leather material that features a Campfire Orange underlay covered in black, giving it the appearance of a burning coal. The tongue features a woven textile, with red Nike branding at the top. The insoles add some more Krampus details, including a sketched rendition of the creature on the right footbed. Finally, the inner tongues feature a “Not surprised” take stitched in an orange Euro-Gothic font to complete the look.
