These Nike Dunk Low Premium SB sneakers are exceptionally rare Prototype Samples created for the canceled “Freddy Krueger” edition inspired by A Nightmare on Elm Street. Never released to the public, they feature distinctive red and green striped uppers modeled after Freddy’s iconic sweater, presented here in the fatter-stripe prototype pattern that predates the more commonly referenced sample version. Blood-splatter overlays add to the thematic design, while chrome Swooshes evoke the metal blades of Freddy’s glove and the insoles mimic the look of his scarred skin. Produced in size 9 and marked with the sample code 999999999, they carry style number 313170-301 and the official Taupe/Chrome colorway. As Prototype Samples, they were never boxed, and aside from a small gash on the medial chrome Swoosh of the left shoe, the pair remains in flawless, unworn condition.

The “Freddy Krueger” Dunk project was ultimately abandoned due to legal complications, leading Nike to order the destruction of nearly all pairs produced. Only a small number survived, elevating these Prototype Samples to near-mythical status among collectors, making them some of the most coveted Nike SB Dunks ever created. This pair represents an extraordinary artifact from one of the most legendary canceled concepts in Nike SB history—an elusive piece that rarely surfaces and embodies the mystique, controversy and creativity that define the golden era of Nike Skateboarding.
