Nike SB has long been celebrated for pushing the boundaries of sneaker design. Among its most enigmatic creations is the Nike SB Dunk Low “OFF!” Bug Spray sample, a true rarity recently unveiled by resellers. With only three pairs known to exist, this elusive sneaker is steeped in both mystery and history.
Originally rumored to debut in 2008 alongside the “Mosquito” SB Dunk, the “OFF!” sample draws its playful inspiration from the vibrant colors of OFF! bug spray cans. Though never officially released, it remains a fascinating example of thematic design.
The “OFF!” Dunk Low is a visual masterpiece, boasting a striking palette of neon green, yellow and orange. Its upper combines suede and leather for a textured contrast that elevates the bold color scheme. Fiery orange and green laces, a prominent Swoosh, and a vivid yellow tongue further enhance its energetic aesthetic. Inside, heat-map-inspired insoles highlight the pressure points of the human foot, adding a unique thematic touch. Despite being over 15 years old, the sneaker’s materials have held up remarkably well, a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship.
