The Wizard of Oz has been a cultural phenomenon since its release in 1939, and its influence on fashion and pop culture is still evident today. The film’s iconic ruby red slippers, designed by Gilbert Adrian, have become a symbol of American cinema and a coveted collector’s item. In 2000, a pair of the original slippers sold for a record-breaking $666,000 at auction. Now, Nike SB has brought the magic of The Wizard of Oz to the world of skateboarding, creating a truly unique and collectible sneaker.
This collaboration is not the first time Nike SB has drawn inspiration from The Wizard of Oz. In 2015, the brand released an unofficial The Wizard of Oz pack, featuring three sneakers inspired by the film’s characters, including a “Dorothy” Dunk Low and a “Tin Man” Dunk High. However, this latest collaboration is the first officially licensed partnership between Nike SB and The Wizard of Oz, making it a truly special release.
