This Nike SB Dunk Low is a whimsical nod to the 1939 classic Wizard of Oz. The upper is lined with satin and adorned with an intricate poppy field print, while the tear-away top layer reveals a scarlet suede base—a clever homage to Dorothy’s ruby slippers. Co-branding details include “Wizard of Oz” and Nike SB logos on the tongue tags, and the iconic phrase “There’s No Place Like Home” embroidered on the heel. Finishing touches like Wicked Witch-themed insoles and poppy red midsole details make this pair truly magical.

The LeBron 22 “Christmas” edition brings festive vibes to the court with its bold, mismatched design. The right shoe shines in Solar Red, while the left is Dusty Cactus. A snowflake graphic adorns the medial side, and the low-cut collar is outfitted with Nike Sphere for supreme comfort. The Cushion 2.0 midsole, guardrail, and forefoot Zoom Turbo unit provide optimal support and performance, making this pair as functional as it is festive.

Air Max SNDR x Kids of Immigrants

This collaboration between Nike’s Air Max SNDR and Kids of Immigrants brings a bold, inspiring design to life.
