To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the "Mobile Suit Gundam UC" novel, originally released in 2007, NIKE's skateboarding brand, NIKE SB, has once again teamed up with BANDAI SPIRITS. Following the release of two limited-edition collaborative items, including the highly sought-after "QMSV RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Ver.NIKE" (depicting the Gundam wearing stylish sneakers), the companies announced today (the 17th) that they will be releasing a new Gunpla: the "HG 1/144 Unicorn Gundam Unit 02 Banshee (Destroy Mode) Ver.NIKE SB." This special model kit will be exclusively available at THE GUNDAM BASE TAIWAN flagship store and Premium Bandai Taiwan's official online store.
The "HG 1/144 Unicorn Gundam Unit 02 Banshee (Destroy Mode) Ver.NIKE SB" features the Banshee's sleek, understated indigo color scheme. It comes with vibrant orange-gold NIKE SB logo stickers and other streetwear-inspired decals, allowing builders to customize the mobile suit with a unique NIKE SB-themed limited colorway. The packaging itself is specially designed to mimic a NIKE SB shoebox, further emphasizing this bold cross-collaboration and significantly boosting its collector's appeal! Additionally, its sibling unit, the HG 1/144 Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode) Ver. NIKE SB, will also be available for purchase simultaneously.
