Nike is aligning its stars to ride the wave of Mattel-mania with the introduction of its new Dunk Low "Barbie."
While it's important to note this is not an official collaboration with Barbie, the sneaker's design and timing to coincide with the release of the highly-anticipated feature film suggests a clever homage to the iconic doll.
At first glance, the Dunk Low "Barbie" presents a stunningly playful color palette, blending shades of pink with cream yellow - a nod to Barbie's signature style. This eye-catching colorway is set to be a head-turner, especially for fans of the Barbie aesthetic.
But Nike didn't stop at the colorway; the details make this shoe special. A massive "N" lace accessory, fully encrusted in faux-diamond stones, draws attention and adds a touch of glam to the shoe's overall design. The Nike Swoosh is reinvented in a darker brown hue, glistening with a glittered finish extending to the heel tab.
Starry patterns that adorn the tongue logo and suede mid-panel, further enhance the sneaker's unique appeal. Additionally, a plush interior lined with elegant pink texture promises comfort to match its high-fashion look. To top it off, a unique cursive-style font graces the tongue, rounding out the sneaker's distinct design.
The Nike Dunk Low "Barbie" is timed perfectly to coincide with the renewed interest in the Barbie franchise, as fans old and new flock to cinemas for the latest release.
