Costco Releases Nike Collab — Here’s Where To Buy Them
Costco isn’t often associated with limited-edition product drops, except for a seasonal item or regional specialty — like when some Texas stores briefly carried actor Robert Downey Jr.’s frozen version.
But recently, a special launch of the Kirkland Signature x Nike SB Dunk Low has drawn a lot of attention and quickly hit the retail market at over-the-counter prices.
Rumors have spread online that less than 10 Costco stores nationwide have received the pairs, with select stores in New York, California, Oregon and Washington among those that have dropped by. Nike has confirmed to Money that the Kirkland Signature x Nike SB Dunk Low is being offered exclusively at select US Costco locations.
The company did not comment on whether additional releases are planned or which specific stores have received the shoes.
The sneakers make several nods to Costco’s signature brand. The exterior is a soft gray fabric, seemingly inspired by Kirkland sweatshirts, with the Kirkland logo on the heel and additional branding on the insole. (Kirkland’s is a house brand of Costco.)
The language tag is similar to a store price label, complete with the item number and the price of $135.00 — subtle details that indicate how the retailer formats its price. Flip the insole over, and there’s a hidden nod to Costco’s $1.50 hot dog, the price of which executives have vowed won’t change despite inflation.
Each pair comes with a removable tag modeled after Costco’s Executive Membership card. One YouTuber who goes by Hes Kicks revealed a small “Easter egg” behind the tag: The text “Member Since 03/2002,” which seems to refer to the initial launch of the Nike SB.
The sneakers retail for $134.99 at Costco, but listings on third-party websites like eBay and StockX have skyrocketed, with asking prices ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand, depending on the size. One pair in men’s size 14 is currently listed on eBay for around $1,000.
