Nike SB's Friends & Family "Safari" Dunk Low Pro Sample May Release Soon

Nike SB's proliferation of Peter Moore's reworked Dunk Low has brought forth dozens of compelling releases since 2002. Over the years, numerous offerings from the skate-obsessed cohort have referenced other silhouettes and launches from under the Nike, Inc. umbrella—including Tinker Hatfield's oft-overlooked Air Safari cross-trainer from 1987.

Ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, the SB team reimagined Hatfield's furniture-inspired Safari print via a special pair of the SB Dunk Low. A second pair, however, surfaced via eBay and other outlets, resembling the original Air Safari's "Cobblestone/Black/Monarch" makeover more faithfully. Touted as a Friends & Family-exclusive that never made it out of the sample stage, the style recently surfaced via e-commerce photos acquired by Elden Monitors, suggesting a retail release will take place in the near future.

The sneaker's signature detail is the dimpled panels around the forefoot and hind-foot, but a mix of other high-quality materials denote the Dunks' special edition. Midsoles opt for a faux-aged finish while the Air Jordan 1-reminiscent outsole keeps things simple in a pitch-dark tone.

Enjoy official images of the safari print-covered pair ahead. The shoes should hit Nike.com before 2026 arrives.
