The Nike SB Dunk Low “White Gum” is a plain skate shoe that now costs double

Nike SB Dunk Low Pro White Gum CD2563-101 side profile

There is nothing wrong with the Nike SB Dunk Low Pro “White Gum” (CD2563-101). That is precisely the problem. A white upper, a black Swoosh, a gum sole: it is one of the plainest colourways Nike has ever put on an SB Dunk. And right now, on Solezilla.com, it is one of the more expensive ones you can buy second-hand.

Look at it soberly. The toe and heel panels carry a dull, suede-like nap, the mid-panel is smooth pebbled leather, and the toe has the usual perforation. The tongue is thick and padded with a small black label — the standard SB recipe, built to take the impact of someone who actually stands on a board. Officially the colourway is White and Gum Light Brown. Everyone calls it White Gum. It is, with respect, a work shoe.

Nike stopped selling it, and that is the whole story

The design is fine. White and gum is one of the few combinations that has never really looked wrong, and the SB build is sturdier than a regular Dunk. None of that is the issue. The issue is that Nike no longer stocks this colourway, so everything still floating around moves through resale and marketplaces.

You can read the result straight off the listings. On Solezilla.com we count fourteen active offers today, spread across twelve shops, and every single one is priced in euros. There is no UK or US listing on this pair right now, so anyone shopping in pounds or dollars is looking at shipping and import on top of whatever they see here. The floor sits at €118 on StockX, then Klekt at €135 and Mentastore just under €140. From there it climbs steadily: Side Kicks, Collect District and Sneakeregeer in the €148 to €160 range, Sneaker Ask near €164, and the top end runs through HYPENEEDZ, Geturbrick and Exclusivexitems before Stadium Goods closes it out around €251. Almost all of it is marketplace and consignment stock.

Why that €118 is not your €118

Here is where it gets tedious. On a marketplace the number at the top is not the price of the shoe, it is the price of the cheapest size currently open. That is rarely a 42 or a 43. It is usually an outlier at the small or large end of the range — exactly the sizes nobody else wanted. Read €118 euros and think “that’s reasonable”, and you find out at checkout that your own size tells a very different story. That is not the shop misleading you, it is simply how these platforms work. It does mean the from-price is useless until you set your size and compare again.

And no, it will not quietly get cheaper. The Hypescore sits at 81, band ATOMIC — the top of our scale. There is still demand, and as long as regular retail does not restock, nothing is pushing those prices down. Waiting here is not a strategy, it is hoping.

What is left is a good, dull, well-made white skate shoe that you will probably pay more for than you meant to. That is allowed, as long as you do it with your eyes open. Put the twelve shops side by side on the SB Dunk Low Pro “White Gum” page and check what your size costs instead of what the headline promises. If that disappoints, the rest of the Nike Dunk SB Low colourways are still there — and plenty of those never left the shelves.
