UPDATE (January 26, 2021): Following much anticipation, AMBUSH's Yoon has finally unveiled a close-up look at her upcoming Nike Dunk High in "Cosmic Fuchsia." Also dubbed "Lethal Pink," the striking colorway was originally known to release on January 14, but has been pushed back to next month.

"If I had to go out to Pantone and create my own pink I would call it 'Killa Pink 2,'" the Tokyo-based designer commented as she shared an on-foot look at the new kicks. As expected, the design comes fully dressed in a magenta shade, with the lateral Swooshes extending beyond the heel to create a three-dimensional effect.

Take a closer look at the AMBUSH x Nike Dunk High in "Cosmic Fuchsia" above. The sneaker is slated to drop on February 4 via Nike SNKRS for $180 USD.


ORIGINAL STORY (December 30, 2020): Continuing their anticipated team-up, AMBUSH's Yoon and Nike are set to return with a "Lethal Pink" colorway of the Dunk High sneaker. The vibrant shoe was initially revealed at the Swoosh brand's Future Sport Forum presentation earlier this year.

Maintaining the original silhouette, the collaborative kicks are accentuated with an elongated Swoosh, which is inspired by the pipes on Japan's Bosozuku bikes. Instead of contrast coloring, the updated design is entirely covered in the bold pink hue including the lacing system, collars and midsoles. Also dubbed "Active Fuchsia," the sneaker is rounded off with AMBUSH's logo embossed at the heel.

Priced at $180 USD, AMBUSH x Nike's Dunk High in "Lethal Pink" is slated to release on January 14.
