Nike SB is popping bottles for its 25th birthday. Official images of the Nike SB Dunk Low "Champagne" (IQ0431-300) just surfaced via Sneaker News, and it's about as literal as a theme shoe gets. There's no confirmed release date yet, so treat timing as TBA for now.
The upper is deep bottle-green patent leather, shiny enough that you can basically see the label. Gold foil hits the Swoosh and heel, a gold heel tab carries "Nike" in gothic lettering, and there's a crested patch on the inside heel to sell the aged-vintage feel. The best detail is hiding inside: cork insoles. Yes, like the cork. Somebody at SB clearly had fun with this one.
The name will ring a bell for Jordan heads, since the Air Jordan 6 "Champagne" from 2014 went down a similar road. Sneaker News reads it as parallel thinking rather than a direct callback, and that tracks. It also lands at a funny time for the Dunk, with SB spending most of 2026 pushing the SB Air Force 1 and the P-Rod 1 instead. For the anniversary, though, the Dunk was always going to get the toast.
Our take: patent leather Dunks can go wrong fast, but green and gold is a classy combo and the cork insole is the kind of in-joke that makes an SB worth collecting. Pair it with something dark and simple and let the shine do the talking.
