A pair of Nike SB Dunk Low “Nardwuar” sneakers

Nardwuar x Nike SB Dunk Low - Release Info, Raffle Dates - Where to Buy in the UK

The Nardwuar x Nike SB Dunk Low is one of the most exciting and unexpected sneaker collaborations dropping this season. Loud, eccentric, and instantly recognisable, the design pays tribute to Nardwuar’s signature plaid outfits, chaotic energy, and legendary status in music journalism. As far as sneaker storytelling goes, this one is special and collectors already have it high on their 2025/26 cop list.

Below is everything you need to know: who Nardwuar is, what makes the sneaker unique, where you can buy it, and the confirmed UK raffle details.

Who Is Nardwuar?

Nardwuar the Human Serviette is a Canadian music journalist and interviewer known for his quirky personality, encyclopaedic knowledge, and iconic plaid outfits. Over the last three decades, he has interviewed everyone from Jay-Z to Nirvana to Drake — always arriving with deep-cut facts and surprise gifts that blow the minds of the artists he speaks to.

His look is instantly recognisable:

  • Loud tartan patterns
  • Vintage-inspired colour palettes
  • A sense of humour that shows in everything he does

Nike SB took those details and built them directly into the sneaker design.

About the Nardwuar SB Dunk Low

The shoe features:

  • Plaid overlays inspired by Nardwuar’s signature fits
  • Cream and brown panels that give the shoe a retro vibe
  • Custom tongue labels with nods to his famous greeting: “Doot doola doot doo…”
  • Special packaging that feels like a collector’s item

This pair isn’t just a sneaker — it’s a tribute to one of pop culture’s most unique personalities.

Release Date & Raffle Entry (UK)

Based on current industry sources, the Nardwuar x Nike SB Dunk Low is expected to drop in early December 2025, with most regions, including the UK, seeing raffles open shortly before launch.

UK SNKRS App Raffle

  • Raffle opens: 12 December at 8:00 AM (UK time)
  • Platform: Nike SNKRS app
  • Entry window: Typically 10–15 minutes for SB drops
  • Results: Usually announced shortly after the draw closes

Make sure you turn on notifications in SNKRS so you don’t miss the entry window — SB collaborations tend to disappear instantly.

Where to Buy in the UK

Outside of SNKRS, you’ll also see the drop spread across skate shops as part of the standard Nike SB Orange Label distribution.

  • Nike SNKRS (UK) – main raffle
  • Slam City Skates
  • Route One
  • Black Sheep Store
  • Welcome Skate Store (Leeds)
  • Consortium
  • Note Shop
  • Fifty Fifty Store

Many of these will run their own in-store or online raffles during the same week — usually with ID checks to prioritise local skaters.

Resale Options After Release

If you miss the raffle (which is extremely likely with SB hype pairs), expect to see pairs on:

  • StockX
  • GOAT
  • Klekt
  • eBay Authenticity Guaranteed

Early predictions are that resale will land between £350–£600 depending on size and scarcity.

Final Thoughts

The Nardwuar x Nike SB Dunk Low is shaping up to be one of the standout SB collaborations of the decade — a sneaker with personality, cultural history, and instant collector appeal.
