Debuted in 1970, Japanese manga "Doraemon" celebrates its 50th Anniversary with an inspired take on the Nike SB Dunk High.

Doraemon was also featured in the 2016 Olympics Closing Ceremony, promoting what was supposed to be this year's summer games in Tokyo.

According to Nike SB or Nothing, the "Doraemon" SB Dunk High will hit Orange Label skate shops later this year. Stick with Sole Collector for release updates.
