The Wizard of Oz x Nike SB Dunk Low Gym Red

You simply cannot ignore this Dunk Low from Nike and the Wizard of Oz franchise. As some OG sneakerheads will remember, the early 2000s era of the Dunk was full of unofficial colourways with franchises. Think of the Heinekens or the Freddy Kruger Dunks for example, two examples of a shoe’s with a history of cease and desists. Of course now-a-days things are different, with this official Wizard of Oz Dunk “Ruby Slipper” being the perfect example of that.

For some sneakerheads this “Ruby Slipper” Dunk serves up strong SB energy with sneakerheads comparing this maximal print upper to the “Pushead 1” Dunk from 2005. The glossy upper pays homage to iconic scene where Dorothy wakes up in a bed of flowers, while a contrasting red stitch and typical SB laces tie the palette. The midsole has also been given a similar print finish, allowing the sole unit to blend into the upper, while a semi-translucent red outsole below reinforces the overall motif.

On the heel lies a subtle “No Place Like Home” text which of course is a nod to the film’s most famous lines, although clicking your heels in these won’t have the same effect (mind you, there’s no harm in trying). The Printed sockliners detail a photo of the Wicked Witch of the West stood next to her flying monkey soldier, a red rose in the forefront of the photo which wonderfully ties into the palette once again. The Wizard of Oz SB arrives in a typical cream SB box, and we recommend taking your standard Nike sizing.

If you’re a massive Wizard of Oz fan but finally dismissed the idea of rocking Dorothy’s Ruby Heels then this Dunk Low from Nike is the perfect alternative. Find out where you can buy The Wizard of Oz x Nike SB Dunk Low “Gym Red” by keeping it locked to The Sole Supplier!
