Authentic Story (01/23/25): When the Wizard of Oz x Nike SB Dunk Low launched again in December, there was a ton of hypothesis as to why the sneakers got here packaged in a bling bag. On the time, we chalked it up as a easy reference to Dorothy’s line from the movie, “I don’t suppose there’s something in that black bag for me.”
Nevertheless, there’s one other massive motive why the shoe comes with blind bag packaging. Blended in with the usual pairs is a particularly uncommon “Ruby Pink Slipper” colorway. These characteristic all-red uppers lined in sequins, made to glitter like Dorothy’s ruby pink slippers within the movie. Different options embrace a light-weight blue satin sockliner, matching the colour of Dorothy’s gown, and flame detailing on the toe bins, impressed by the sparks that fly off of Dorothy’s slippers when the Depraved Witch of the West tries to the touch them. The sneakers additionally include two totally different graphic insoles, one which reads “Give up Dorothy” and one other that includes the scene the place the Depraved Witch of the East is crushed by a home whereas sporting the ruby pink slippers.
This “Ruby Pink Slipper” model was not included among the many preliminary inventory of Wizard of Oz Dunks that dropped at skate retailers and on SNKRS again in December. As an alternative, these pairs have been quietly added to latest restock shipments which might be simply now hitting skate retailers, a month after the unique launch. This distinctive launch technique ensured that skate store regulars have been the primary to find the uncommon colorway.
