To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the "Mobile Suit Gundam UC" novel, first released in 2007, Nike's skateboarding brand Nike SB is once again making waves in the anime and streetwear scenes. Following the impactful release of their special edition Nike SB Dunk High Unicorn Gundam colorways, Nike SB has now unveiled two exclusive collaboration figures: the "QMSV RX-0 Unicorn Gundam [Destroy Mode] Ver.NIKE SB" and the "QMSV RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee [Destroy Mode] Ver.NIKE SB." These limited-edition collectibles let the iconic Unicorn Gundam and Banshee rock some seriously stylish kicks!
The heavyweight crossover between NIKE SB and "Mobile Suit Gundam UC" previously brought us two limited-edition Nike SB Dunk High sneakers, featuring the signature color schemes of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam and RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee. Beyond just the colors, intricate details were incorporated, such as transforming the Gundam's iconic V-fin into Nike's signature swoosh. The design also includes a Velcro system, allowing for interchangeable gold and yellow accents, along with Unicorn Gundam logos and unit numbers, satisfying both sneakerheads and Gundam fans alike.
These two new collaboration figures, the "QMSV RX-0 Unicorn Gundam [Destroy Mode] Ver.NIKE SB" and "QMSV RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee [Destroy Mode] Ver.NIKE SB," stand approximately 20 cm tall. They are presented in the QMSV series' deformed (chibi) style, a signature interpretation by Japanese toy designer TOUMA. While retaining their original mecha color schemes, the figures are enhanced with additional sporty streetwear elements, including NIKE SB logos. A standout feature is the meticulous recreation of the Nike SB X Unicorn Gundam Dunk High collaboration sneakers on their feet, complete with intricate shoe body details and exquisite metallic paint applications. This bold crossover significantly boosts their collectible value!
