The Gundam x Nike SB Dunk High “Unicorn” is showcased in a closer look as the silhouette will be debuting next week.
Overall, this “White/Amarillo” colorway derives from the Japanese anime franchise Gundam, particularly from the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, a novel from the Gundam universe in celebration of its 15th anniversary.
Details like the striking logo on the heel, geometric Swooshes that are interchangeable as a nod to its toy counterpart, followed by a paneled aesthetic throughout the upper to encapsulate the style of the Gundam suit rounds out the design.
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.
