First Look At a Forthcoming 'The Powerpuff Girls' x Nike SB Dunk Low
Update: After news of a The Powerpuff Girls x Nike SB collection surfaced back in March, we now have a look at one of the collaborative offerings: a SB Dunk Low "Blossom" inspired by the show's titular character. Reveled by sneaker leaker @thesolessorcerer, the "Blossom" features a bold pink color scheme that nods to its corresponding Powerpuff Girl's signature color plus orange accents that acknowledge her hair. The heel tab is then enlarged and embroidered with one of Blossom's eyes — only the left shoe is shown in the image, indicating that the right shoe will likely complete her visage — to complete the look. Though images of the "Bubbles" and "Buttercup" pairs have yet to be revealed, it's likely they'll follow the same design ethos and spotlight their respective character's colors. Rumors have been swirling on the sneaker interwebs about the collection's release status as well, indicating that only one colorway of the three will be made available as a general release while the other two are much more limited and will only drop through select channels. If these rumors hold true, you can expect the collection to drop sometime in December. Read the original story below for further info, and stay tuned for updates as they're available.Original Story: According to reports from sneaker insiders, Nike SB is currently working on a collaboration with The Powerpuff Girls which is set to launch later this year.
