What makes this release special?

The fifth and final season of Stranger Things will be released at the end of 2025 and marks the conclusion of a series that has gathered millions of fans worldwide since 2016. Nike seizes this moment to collaborate again with the creators of the series. In 2019, special Air Tailwind 79 and Blazer Mid releases with Hawkins High themes were already launched, but this time they chose the Dunk Low silhouette, a model that perfectly fits the 80s vibe Stranger Things is known for. The collab thus feels like a logical and symbolic finale to the series and is aimed at fans who want to combine their love for sneakers and storytelling.

 

Design and details

The Dunk Low comes in several variants, each with its own references to the series. The most striking colorway is a dark version with a black leather upper, red accents, and anthracite details. The tongue labels, insole, and heel tab feature reversed branding as a subtle nod to the infamous Upside Down. Additionally, the leather is treated with a craquelé effect, making the sneaker look as if it came straight from the world of Hawkins. A yellowed midsole enhances the vintage look, while small graphic elements under the eyelets refer to iconic scenes from the series. The second variant has a lighter base with shades like Phantom, Navy, and Lemon Drop, possibly referencing specific locations or characters in the final season.

 

Available variants

Two versions have been confirmed leading up to the official release:

Stranger Things x Nike Dunk Low Phantom/Midnight Navy–College Grey–Lemon Drop–Dark Smoke Grey
SKU: IH6766-001

Stranger Things x Nike Dunk Low Black/Speed Red–Varsity Red–Anthracite
SKU: IH6766-002

No photos available yet.

Both models are released in unisex sizes and are intended for fans of both sneakers and the series. The Dunk Low fits true to size, so you can stick to your standard Nike size. The combination of materials, fit, and design makes these sneakers suitable for daily use, but they certainly also have collector's value.

 

Release information

The official release is scheduled for Holiday 2025. Although no exact date has been announced yet, the drop is expected between October and December of this year. The sneakers will likely be available via the SNKRS app and possibly also through selected retailers such as END, BSTN, SNS and Footdistrict.

Given that Stranger Things is about to conclude and the collaboration seems very limited, it is advisable to turn on your SNKRS notifications and keep a close eye on raffles. Previous Stranger Things releases sold out quickly and later achieved high resale values, so be prepared.

 

What else can we expect?

Although the official campaign has not yet started, it seems likely that more will appear around this release. Think of special packaging with Stranger Things branding, limited-edition accessories like pins or cards, or even a third colorway. It is also possible that the release will be accompanied by a media campaign or exclusive content via Netflix or Nike’s own channels. Previous releases from the series brought strong storytelling elements, so it would not be surprising if Nike uses this again.
