First Collaboration: Inspired by Goku and Frieza
This collection focuses on three iconic battles from the anime. A total of seven models of shoes will be released, featuring the main hero and villain characters from each battle. The first installment includes two models: the "ZX 500 RM DB," inspired by Goku, and the "YUNG-1 DB," inspired by Frieza.
The "ZX 500 RM DB," updated with the image of the main character Goku, adopts an orange and blue color palette inspired by "Ki." Classic mesh and suede are used, with the Three Stripes and the canvas on the tongue intentionally left raw to represent Goku's torn gi.
Furthermore, the yellow mesh on the toe box and sides evokes the transformation into a "Super Saiyan." Details such as the Dragon Ball on the tongue, the "悟" (Go) kanji on the heel patch, and graphics depicting the Flying Nimbus and sound effects on the sides are scattered throughout, capturing the world of the anime.
The "YUNG-1 DB" features a purple and white color palette. Its smooth silhouette is accented with glossy purple TPU material and embossed suede patches, expressing Frieza's robust and powerful physique.
The collection will be released in two models each month from September to December, along with special edition shoeboxes. When all the shoeboxes are combined, they form a single special design, paying homage to the back cover design of the comic version of "Dragon Ball Z."
