The new model comes in blue and yellow colorways inspired by the look of the video game’s heroine, Chun-Li. The leather upper boasts a graphic print of the character’s belt, with Onitsuka Tiger and Street Fighter logos adorning the heel flaps.
Fans who pick up the sneakers will receive a product card code that enables them to change Chun-Li’s apparel to Onitsuka Tiger clothing and the Mexico 66 SD shoe on “Street Fighter V.”
This isn’t the first time a video game has teamed up with a footwear company, and it’s not even new for the Street Fighter franchise. A “Street Fighter II” pattern was done in a high-top silhouette in 2017, designed by Philadelphia sneaker boutique Ubiq in collaboration with the game’s manufacturer, Capcom.
Only 5,000 pairs of the Mexico 66 SD will be sold. The kicks go to market on Saturday and will be available at select Onitsuka Tiger outlets.
