It’s almost that time of year again when it’s out with the fall décor and in with the Halloween decorations. And what better way to celebrate Halloween than with a pair of sneakers inspired by the iconic film, The Nightmare Before Christmas? The Jack & Sally x Nike SB Dunk Low sneakers are the perfect addition to your Halloween outfit or just for showing off your love for the movie.
The Nightmare Before Christmas, a classic film written by Tim Burton and directed by Henry Selick, has been inspiring and captivating audiences since its release in 1993. The characters Jack Skellington and Sally have become synonymous with both Halloween and Christmas, thanks to the film’s combination of both themes. Now, you can honor these beloved characters with a pair of epic sneakers.
Designed by Dariyn Enriquez from @dope_don_designs, the sneakers perfectly capture the essence of Jack and Sally. The right shoe represents Jack Skellington, while the left sneaker represents Sally. Each shoe features unique design elements that pay homage to the characters. The brown outsole and white midsole of both sneakers evoke thoughts of frosted gingerbread, while the black suede-like Nike Swoosh logo adds a touch of darkness to the design.
For fans of Jack Skellington, the iconic pinstripe suit is prominently featured on sections like the perforated toe box and the panelling around the heel. The mudguard and mid-foot panelling are plain black, allowing the white design of Jack’s bony foot to stand out, contrasting with the dark Swoosh logo.
Sally’s side of the sneakers is filled with vibrant colors, reflecting her whimsical design. The greyish green mudguard, lace unit, and panel wrapping around the heel match Sally’s skin tone and showcase the intricate stitching that resembles her body. The toe box and base of the upper panelling mimic the patchwork patterns of Sally’s dress, incorporating yellows, blacks, purples, and blues. Even the red laces and inner lining pay homage to Sally’s distinctive red lips and hair.
The best part is that these sneakers are still available for pre-order on @dope_don_designs’ website for a surprisingly affordable price of $250. Considering that custom sneakers can often cost up to $1000, this is a steal. If you’re a fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas or just appreciate unique and stylish footwear, don’t miss out on this opportunity to own a pair of these amazing sneakers.
