Nike SB will connect with Japanese anime franchise Gundam to release two colorways of the Nike SB Dunk High.
The collection will include two color options of the Nike SB Dunk High for Project Unicorn. Inspiration comes from the Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, a novel from the Gundam universe, which more than likely will celebrate the 15th Anniversary. The two colorways borrow colors from the RX-O and Banshee Norn Destroy Mode suits, with some jagged, robotic details.
Other highlights include Project Unicorn stamps on the lateral side by the heel, detachable Swoosh logos that resemble the suits, and comes with a sheet of decals.
