UPDATE 11/26/25: The Nike SB Dunk Low “Krampus” releases December 2, 2025 via SNKRS just days ahead of this year’s Krampusnacht, December 5th, the night before St. Nicholas Day. The most notable feature is the wear-away upper that chips away to reveal an orange layer beneath once you skate or log miles.
Original Story:
This Holiday 2025, Nike SB revives a frightful legend with the return of the Nike SB Dunk Low Krampus. Because who doesn’t want their feet wrapped in folklore and fear?
Inspired by Krampus, the creepy horned sidekick to Saint Nick, this Dunk Low ditches the cheer and goes full chaos. It’s based on Alpine tales where Krampus drags naughty kids into his sack—so, basically, it’s the sneaker version of “you better watch out.”
The upper features cracked black leather that screams “I’ve been through some things.” Red contrast stitching adds drama (because of course it does), while the quilted tongue and spooky insoles bring that haunted-house energy. Graphic details include Krampus himself looking like he skipped the nice list and went straight to “not surprised.”
And speaking of lists, the heel Zoom Air units include a scroll with names of the damned. Sharon? Shay? Sorry, your time’s up.
The “Krampus” SB Dunk Low is finished with a burgundy midsole, smoky outsole, and an attitude problem. It’s perfect for skaters who prefer their kicks with fangs and folklore.
