For most sneakerheads, the Nike Dunk Low Smurf will look like just another classic Dunk Low – and we mean that in the best way possible. But OGs will know there’s actually a much deeper story behind it.
Let’s throw things back to the ’90s. Back then, Nike first introduced the Dunk Low Pro B, which essentially served as the SB Dunk before the SB Dunk officially existed. And as part of that series, the Beaverton brand unveiled the Smurf in 1999. Finding a deadstock pair today is next to impossible, and prices can easily climb into the four-figure range. Rather than draining your hard-earned savings, Nike has decided to bless us with a brand new Smurf for 2025 instead.
