The Nike Abominable Snowman Dunk Low is a winter-themed sneaker designed for children, covered in textured faux fur from top to sole. The shoe features a Celestine Blue shaggy upper accented with Green Abyss details, plus snowflake-inspired motifs on the heel and tongue. A hidden tongue message reads “Make Your Own Tracks,” adding to the seasonal character. Each pair also comes with a plush snowman keychain holding a miniature Swoosh, reinforcing the playful design.
The release is scheduled between October and December 2025 and will be available in preschool and grade school sizes. Pricing is expected around $120, with no adult sizing confirmed at this time. Targeted toward younger collectors and gift buyers, the shoe blends whimsy with signature Dunk style.
