About two weeks ago Nike Sportswear posted a picture showing a new Nike Air Force 1 High Foamposite in a solid Black colorway on their twitter account. The picture was only a little preview but now thanks to marqueesole we have some detailed pictures to share.

Nike SB Dunk Mid “Ryu”

August 29, 2010 by Roland | 49 Views | Leave a Comment

Ryu has been the lead character for the popular video game series, Street Fighter since the game’s existence began in 1987, so it’s no surprise Nike SB is honoring him in their upcoming Street Fighter Pack.

We’ve already seen a Blue/White Dunk Low inspired by Chun Li and now Ryu is getting his very own Dunk Mid which features a Off-White, Red, and Black colorway.

The Dunk Mid is made of mostly Off-White canvas to mimic Ryu’s clothing with Black suede wrapping around the heel to represent his belt, and Red terrycloth on the Nike swoosh to match his headband. The midsole and laces come in white while Red threading circles the shoe and a Red outer sole rests at the foundation.

There’s no word on when the shoes will release but you can get a pair now on eBay.
