Nike SB Dunk Low Premium ‘Once in a Blue Moon’ Sample | Size 9

Offered in this lot is an extremely unique Nike SB Dunk Low Premium ‘Once in a Blue Moon’ sample. The pair features a reflective upper, dressed in a crater pattern, reminiscent of the moon’s surface. Additional details include a semi-translucent blue mid and outsole.  

In 2015, when the shoe was released at retail, Nike opted for a premium Deep Royal Blue suede upper and a matching mid and outsole. The insole featured a variation of the crater pattern seen on this sample. 

The Nike SB Dunk made its formal debut in 2002 when Nike officially reworked the famed Dunk basketball sneaker originally designed in the 1980s with upgrades suited for the skateboarding community. The man behind it, former Nike executive Sandy Bodecker, is credited with building one of Nike’s most beloved subdivisions in the early 2000s with the Nike SB line.

What sets Nike SB apart from other competitive brands is the unbridled creativity, collaborators, materials, and whimsical highly thematic designs that define a generation of sneakerheads. Nike has explored hundreds of concepts – often with a sense of humor – through its Nike Dunks. From designs that range from beer bottles to guitar cases, to horror films, jewelry, animals, arts and cities – the Dunks represent some of the most beloved and creative models for the brand.
