Nike Dunk Low SB Oompa Loompa


Nike releases yet another Nike Dunk SB this time nicknamed "Oompa Loompa". The name "Oompa Loompa" came from the 1971 movie Willy Wonky and the Chocolate Factory. In the movie, the main character's helpers are called "Oompa Loompas" which have green hair, orange skin and white and brown clothes so it's pretty obvious why people have nicknamed it this way. Currently, this dunk is only released in Australia. No words on if it's going to be released in the States and other parts of the world.
