As part of its celebrations for Halloween this year, Nike SB is bringing a sweet tooth to foot with one of the most polarizing candies there is.
Following months of leaks, official images have now surfaced for the Nike SB Dunk High “Candy Corn,” suggesting a release is imminent for the highly detailed sneaker. The candy corn theme is immediately visible through a white, orange, and yellow gradient taking over the entirety of the high-top’s leather upper. A layered Swoosh is made up of orange leather sitting atop yellow suede, and there are several more small details to appreciate throughout the sneaker.
An anthropomorphic candy corn graphic replaces the “i” in “Nike SB” for the outer side of the tongue tag, and the inner side features a tooth graphic with a yellow wedge hosting the letters “SB.” Lest the idea go over your head, the insoles feature an all-over print with a pile of candy corn interspersed with coins. The vamp also features debossing in the style of a bite mark — and its appearance on the shoe’s white section alone confirms candy corn must be eaten one color at a time.
Watch on FN
Nike has yet to confirm its own release for the SB Dunk High “Candy Corn,” but third-party retailers such as Extra Butter have confirmed they’ll drop the shoe Oct. 14 for a price of $125.
