Nike SB Dunk Low 'Supreme Stars - Black'
Eighteen years after legal worries pushed Supreme to swap a repeating Nike logo for gold stars on three Dunk Highs, the stars and faux croc came back on a Dunk Low, and the black pair was the most restrained of the four.

Supreme and the birth of SB
Nike introduced its skateboarding line, SB, in 2002, with a Dunk Low reworked for skating: a padded tongue and collar and a Zoom Air insole. Supreme was SB's first official collaboration after it became its own division, and it set the tone for what an SB Dunk could be.
That first Supreme Dunk Low, in September 2002, asked for something no one had done: borrow the 'elephant' print of the Air Jordan 3. Nike SB's own archive says the result was 500 pairs in two colorways, black and white, an instant grail that mixed Nike's past with New York attitude. One collector history calls it the first time the Jordan 3's Black Cement colorway had appeared on another shoe.
Supreme came back to the Dunk Low in 2012, marking ten years of the SB Dunk with a new take on the cement print. Its 2021 return took its cue from a different chapter: the high-top it made in between.
Stars instead of Swooshes
Supreme's second SB collaboration, released in August 2003, was a set of three Dunk Highs in red, orange and blue. Nike SB's archive says they were originally meant to carry a repeating Nike logo pattern. One collector history says legal concerns ended that plan, because other luxury labels were using a similar repeat-logo strategy, and the design switched to a field of stars.
The released shoes paired full-grain leather with a crocodile pattern, came with extra laces and a Zoom Air insole, and finished with a gold Supreme nameplate on the lace lock, a detail Nike SB calls the most New York part of the shoe. A few samples with the original all-over Nike and Swoosh print survive.
Those samples resurfaced in September 2023, when an online auction offered the unreleased Highs from September 26 to October 3 with estimates of $30,000 to $50,000 each. That estimate is a range for the 2003 samples, not a price for the 2021 shoe.
The stars come down to a Low
Word of a return leaked in late October 2020, when a sneaker leak account reported four Supreme SB Dunk Lows for early 2021 that would borrow the 2003 Highs' faux crocodile and gold stars. On October 31 another account posted a first look at the whole collection, and on-feet photos followed through November.
Nike released official images in early January 2021: Hyper Blue on January 5, Mean Green on January 7, and Black and Barkroot Brown on January 8. The new colors replaced the 2003 trio of orange, red and blue.
On March 1, 2021, Supreme confirmed the release: Thursday, March 4, only at its website and stores, with Japan following on Saturday, March 6, at $110 a pair. One outlet had listed the price as $120 before the confirmation; Supreme's announced price was $110.
How to identify the black pair
The black pair has a white leather upper with black faux crocodile overlays on the mudguard, eyestays, Swoosh and heel, a gold star print on the white quarter panels, Nike SB's overstuffed tongue and a croc heel patch. A gold metallic Supreme lace lock, a white midsole and a black outsole finish it. All four colorways share the gold star print, gold-toned logos and red co-branded insoles.
The style code is DH3228-102, in Black/Metallic Gold-White. One resale listing names the included extras as a 'World Famous' Supreme Nike hang tag, white laces and two gold Supreme lace locks.
It is easy to confuse with the 2003 originals. Those were high-tops, released only in red, orange and blue. A Dunk Low with gold stars and croc is the 2021 shoe.
Where it sits today
Supreme has not published how many pairs were made. On October 1, 2026, the lowest listing on one large resale platform was $238 before fees, and the platform's most recent recorded sale was $344. On a second platform the lowest listing was $447, for a size 8.5, with other sizes from $459 to $907.
For perspective on the line it comes from, the same first platform showed a lowest listing of $4,985 for the 2003 red Supreme Dunk High 'Stars' on the same day.

This is an asking price, not a sale. It is what a seller wanted on the date shown. Asking prices often sit above what buyers pay, but an ask is not a ceiling: a sale can land on either side of it. It is not a value.
By reference price, Nike SB Dunk Low 'Supreme Stars - Black' is number 65 of 100 in the sneakers entries of the FLOAT 100. 22 of those 100 rest on a realized sale; the rest carry an asking price or a guide value, and each page says which. Rank within the FLOAT 100 itself (56 here) is editorial: how much an object defines its field, not price alone.
