It was teased. Then it wasn't. It was a joke. Then it wasn't. But as of now, the upcoming Nardwuar x Nike SB Dunk Low is taking the tried-and-true Dunk silhouette and dialing up its personality to the absolute max—just like Nardwuar.

Taking hints straight from the master Canadian Q&A'ers instantly recognizable gear, the shoe is the perfect blend of bold patterns, playful colors, and unmistakable Nardwuar energy. It’s the kind of design that doesn’t just get noticed—it's impossible to ignore.

From the plaid-inspired panels to the unexpected pops of color, every detail feels like a direct nod to Nardwuar's unhinged vibe, and I have no problem believing these might end up being the heaviest (most playful) collab of the year. Get a closer look below:

Nardwuar has interviewed some of the most influential human beings in the world, which is hilarious, because the dude is an absolute character. But he always does his homework, and deep down, we all know he's a fan of the culture.

Did you see his P-Rod interview earlier this year? Tap the post above and get ready for some fun.

We all know Nike SB has a long history of personality-driven collaborations, but this one feels like it’s in a league of its own. It’s unapologetic, offbeat, and completely true to the source material—which means it’s exactly what a Nardwuar collab should be, if that makes sense? It should.

These probably aren't designed to skate, but for those of you eager to add these to the collection or keep 'em on ice for a rainy day, release details are still rolling out, but one thing’s for sure: these aren’t flying under anyone’s radar. Look for 'em this Holiday season.
