Custom Nike Dunks Appraisal

Nike SB Dunk Low Pro 'Freddy Krueger' (Custom/Tribute)

This item is a pair of athletic sneakers, specifically low-top skate shoes, designed in a highly distinctive colorway and pattern. The shoes feature a multi-material construction combining what appears to be canvas or textile with faux leather overlays. The toe box and quarter panels showcase prominent vertical stripes in alternating red and dark grey/black, referencing the iconic sweater of Freddy Krueger. Overlays on the toe cap, eyelets, heel, and side panels are in a light tan/beige color, adorned with dark red/burgundy splatter patterns, reminiscent of bloodstains, further reinforcing the horror movie theme. A striking silver-colored 'Swoosh' logo is prominently displayed on both sides of each shoe. The laces are a dark olive green, complementing the overall somber and thematic palette. The midsole is a clean, off-white or cream color, providing a visual break from the upper's intensity, while the outsole is black, presumably rubber for grip. The shoes appear to be in pristine, unworn condition, likely new in box (indicated by the presence of a box, though it's partially obscured and generic in appearance). There are no visible signs of wear, scuffs, creasing, or damage. The stitching appears consistent and well-executed, indicative of quality craftsmanship typical of Nike products. While official Nike SB Dunk Low 'Freddy Krueger' sneakers were never released to the mass market due to legal issues, this pair reflects a highly sought-after, unreleased sample, or more commonly, a high-quality custom build or tribute shoe based on detailed photographic evidence of the original samples. The attention to detail in replicating the colors, patterns, and splatters aims to capture the essence of the original unreleased concept. The dark grey spare laces coiled on the shoe further suggest new merchandise.
