Nike Announces Release Date for Its Latest ‘Stranger Things’ Collaboration Ahead of the Show's Final Season

Nike is ready to re-enter the Upside Down world with its new “Stranger Things” collaboration: the “Stranger Things” x Nike Dunk Low.

The footwear company partnered with the hit Netflix show again to deliver a new version of the iconic Dunk Low silhouette, inspired by the hit show. News of the collaboration surfaced earlier this year, but now the footwear giant is announcing that the sneakers will be available for purchase on Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. ET.

Photos of the Dunk Low x “Stranger Things” leaked in the summer, revealing that the shoe would be made with a cracked material. The worn look gives the sneaker an aging effect that makes it appear it was made in 1987, the year the upcoming fifth and final season will be set in. An additional “Nike 1987” badge was also added on the side of the shoe.

The leather on the shoes appears to be slightly decayed, worn, cracked and brittle, while the laces and midsole are stained, giving a distressed, lived-in effect. The crackled leather is also featured on the navy blue Swoosh branding on the side of the shoes. The logos also pay homage to the show by featuring several branding elements at the heel and tongue, which reference the show’s alternate dimension, the Upside Down. The insole branding features the “Stranger Things” logo, and the vines and tendrils from “The Upside Down” are also found there.

The sneakers, which feature a Phantom, College Gray and Midnight Navy colorway, will retail for $155. The “Stranger Things” x Nike Dunk Low shoe is also expected to arrive later in a Black/Speed Red/Varsity Red/Anthracite colorway; however, the release date or photos for that version have not yet been announced.

Nike introduced its first “Stranger Things” collaboration in 2019, which included several sneakers and apparel inspired by the beloved show. Nike reinvented some of its classic footwear models for that collection, including the Blazer Mid, Cortez, and Tailwind 79.

The fifth and final season of “Stranger Things,” which will consist of eight episodes, is set to be released via Netflix in three parts, with two volumes on Nov. 26 and Dec. 25, with the series finale dropping on Dec. 31. The TV series was created by the Duffer Brothers, and the first season was released in July 2016, starring Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and more.
