The sneaker comes clad in a vibrant color scheme, which immediately catches the attention of sneaker enthusiasts.
The upcoming Powerpuff Girls x Nike SB Dunk Low "Blossom" sneakers, dedicated to the "pink" Powerpuff Girl
The Powerpuff Girls is a popular American animated television series, which is based on the superhero fiction genre and showcases three kindergarten-aged girls with superpowers. Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles come together to fight evil, who are all criminals of the fictional city of Townsville.
The show is now collaborating with the Nike SB label to bring all three characters to life with the sneaker model SB Dunk Low. The SB Dunk sneaker model was first debuted in 2002 under the leadership of Sandy Bodecker. The official Swoosh label site introduces the sneaker model as:
"From backboards to skateboards, the influence of the Nike Dunk is undeniable. Although introduced as a basketball shoe in 1985, its flat and grippy soles were perfect for a neglected sports community—skaters. Uncovering a subculture craving creativity as much as function, the Dunk released decades of countless colorways that continue to capture the soul of skaters from coast to coast."
The latest colorway, SB Dunk Low "Blossom" comes clad in a Lotus Pink / Digital Pink / Medium Soft Pink color scheme to give a proper nod to the character.
Blossom was highly associated with the color pink, used to lead with intelligence, and had the superpower of ice breath. The pink is accompanied with orange accents to acknowledge her hair of the same color. The pink-hued base contrasts with black piping placed upon the toe boxes, lacing system, swooshes, and heels.
The pink tongues of the sneakers are given a unique feature with multiple embossed branding in white to portray the cartoon show. Another hue is added into the mix with orange, placed upon the plain cotton laces, and profile swooshes on both medial and lateral sides.
The heel tabs are decorated with enlarged and embroidered Blossom's eye patches. More branding is added with insides of tongue tags featuring "The Powerpuff Girls" lettering. The shoe is given a flair with a reflective finish. The look is finished off with cartoonic sock liners, black midsoles, and pink translucent rubber outsoles.
The release of the Nike SB Dunk Low "Blossom" sneakers is highly anticipated by both sneaker enthusiasts and fans of the cartoon, bringing back a lot of nostalgia for many.
