The Nike SB Dunk Low “Safari” is set to launch Holiday 2025, bringing one of Tinker Hatfield’s most popular designs back to life. The print was originally featured on the 1987 Air Safari, an Air Max-style cross-trainer that broke the mold with its furniture-inspired textures and daring style.

Nike SB previously tapped into that heritage during the Paris 2024 Olympics, dropping a Dunk Low with Safari cues. Now, this Friends and Family pair leans even closer to Hatfield’s original “Cobblestone/Black/Monarch” colorway, blending skateboarding functionality with a piece of Nike history. The combination of the two things make this drop feel much more than just another SB for collectors.

The standout feature is the Safari-print overlays across the forefoot, eyestays, and heel. Black nubuck underlays balance the design, while Monarch Orange suede at the toe box adds contrast. A light grey Swoosh cuts through the mid-panel, and Nike embroidery hits the heel tab in bright orange. Underfoot, a cream midsole with subtle aging effects sits atop a black outsole, offering durability and vintage character. Skaters also have the choice of black and orange extra laces to deck themselves out in.

Fans of Nike SB’s storied collabs will recognize this look as a continuation of the brand’s decades-old legacy: connecting skate culture to vintage Nike gear. It’s the kind of easter egg sneakerheads will spot, bridging the gap between eras of performance and style.
