In less than a day, the long-awaited debut of the Barbie movie takes place. However, it’s been in the spotlight throughout 2023, leading to brands capitalizing on the trend with various thematic products. This week, Nike decided to hop on the hype train with the reveal of a pair of Air Max Scorpions that would suit the fictional character properly. Now, the starry pink presentation has made its way onto the Dunk Low.

This time around, a washed pink suede base sees stars appear at the midfoot while hot pink leather overlays serve as eye-catchers, though not nearly as much as the lace charms do. For both the left and right shoes, a special “N” jumbo lace charm appears blinged-out with a script font, tying the overarching theme together. Matching this styling, the thematic tongue branding features stars as a backdrop, matching the starry translucent pink outsole that rounds out this pair.

No release details surrounding this pair have been shared just yet so hang tight if you’re looking to rock it at your local movie theater for the Barbie movie. We expect the release for this Dunk Low and Nike’s other sneakers rocking the theme to land on shelves in the coming weeks via Nike and select retailers.

Looking for more of the latest news from the footwear space? We’ve got you covered. The Nike Air Max Scorpion continues to take on unique colorways, this time carrying two external cord-like lace systems with its “Have A Nike Day” presentation.
