A recent collaboration between Capcom’sStreet Fighter V: Arcade Editionand Japanese footwear and fashion brand company Onitsuka Tiger resulted in some pretty awesome looking sneakers worn by one of the main fighters in the long-running franchise – Chun-Li. There will only be 5,000 pairs of these released, so needless to say they’re pretty limited edition.
The footwear, based off the outfit colors worn by the “First Lady of Fighting,” comes in two styles and color schemes. According to theofficial site"the entire upper is printed with a graphic of a dragon that is used for the banding of costumes worn by Chun-Li, and the heel flap is engraved with the Onitsuka Tiger andStreet Fighterlogos." The sneakers themselves are based on the MEXICO 66 SD model, which is considered the icon of Onitsuka Tiger.
As a nifty bonus, the shoes also include a special product code that allows players to use Chun-Li’s unique Onitsuka Tiger costume in the game.
Both sneakers will launch on July 27th for 18,000 yen (roughly $180 each) to Onitsuka Tiger retail stores worldwide. So if you’re interested in them, it might be a good idea to save the date to get your hands on a pair or two.
This isn’t the first timeStreet Fighter Vhas gotten special content (although you didn’t unlock past in-game pieces by buying sweet kicks). Previous promotions involved aResident Evilcostume collaboration and specialholiday-themedoutfits for certain characters.
