The Neckface x Nike SB Dunk Low collaboration was already one of the most chaotic Halloween sneakers in recent memory. But it turns out, the 2022 release wasn’t the only version made. A newly revealed sample pair has surfaced, giving fans a rare look at Neckface’s original, unfiltered vision.
In stark contrast to the final product, this sample is absolutely covered in unique embroidered patches depicting bats, skulls, monsters, and random phrases like “Go Away” and “Teamwork.” It even has green tape detailing on the midsole, a feature that was later removed to give the production shoe a cleaner look. Each panel is made with a custom feel, highlighting Neckface’s unique, crude, graffiti-meets-craft aesthetic.
The fuzzy black suede, scrappy patchwork, and “SAMPLE Property of Nike” tags all make this one of a kind pair an immediate must-have. This sample is the epitome of SB in its heyday, an individualistic, rebellious time for the brand.
This particular iteration of the Dunk will likely never see release, but it truly captures the craziness of Neckface and Nike SB as a whole.
