Nike SB and Japanese anime franchise Gundam are teaming up to release two special edition colorways of the Nike Dunk High.
This “Project Unicorn” collection includes two Nike SB Dunk High styles offered in White and Blue-based colorways taking inspiration from the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, a novel from the Gundam universe in celebration of its 15th Anniversary. Each are inspired by the popular Japanese figurines, Gundam. Specifically, the Unicorn Gundam is the source of inspiration for the duo as seen with the logo printed on the heel counter. The collab features interchangeable Swoosh branding as a nod to its toy counterpart while the panels throughout the upper mirror the look of the fictional Gundam suit.
