Sometimes the best things are given to the youth, and these Dunks would certainly attract heavy hype if they were made in adult sizes. Sadly for us adults, these iced-out kicks are only dropping in grade school sizes.
Nicknamed the Abominable Snowman Dunk Low for obvious reasons, this GS heater is covered in thick icy blue faux fur everywhere but the Swoosh, which gets a dark blue leather. The tongue and heel tab have custom snow-covered Nike labels reminiscent of the branding on gas station ice machines, while the inside of the tongue tells kids to “Make Your Own Tracks.” The most obvious homage to the mythical creature is the included fuzzy snowman charm that can be attached to the shoe or to a backpack.
Nike has added plenty of fuzz to Dunks in the past, most notably in the Three Bears SB Dunk pack, Verdy SB Dunk Low, and of course, the Grateful Dead SB Dunk pack. The beary variations have always sold well and even if it’s just for kids, we could see this Yeti Dunk Low disappearing fast on back-to-school shopping trips.
The Nike Dunk Low Abominable Snowman will drop in GS sizing in the Fall 2025 season via Nike and select Nike retailers for a price of $120. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
