Independent sneaker chain Social Status is adding to the recent slew of Nike Dunk collaborations with its own collab coming soon.

Newly leaked images from @US_11 on Twitter reveal that there are two Social Status x Nike Dunk styles in the works. While the inspiration behind the set is currently unconfirmed, the store’s owner James Whitner added to the speculation by saying on Instagram that free lunch is the central theme for the project. Various materials are used on the shoe’s uppers including velvet, suede, and leather.

It’s worth noting that the images show the pre-school version of the shoes as the men’s pairs have yet to surface.

There are currently no release details available for this food-inspired Social Status x Nike Dunk collab but keep it locked to Sole Collector for new developments as they become available.

UPDATE (08/18): Social Status has formally announced its upcoming Nike Dunk “Free Lunch” collaboration. A short film shared on the store’s Instagram (featured below) details the collection’s free lunch inspiration. Social Status also confirmed the pairs will be released on two separate dates: Saturday, Sept. 4 for the “Chocolate Milk” colorway and Saturday, Sept. 18 for the “Strawberry Milk” variation. Retail pricing has not yet been announced.

UPDATE (08/27): Social Status has announced the launch info surrounding their first “Free Lunch” Dunk style. Fans will have two different opportunities to pick up the “Chocolate Milk” iteration. Starting on Aug. 30, shoppers can schedule an online appointment on either the Social Status, A Ma Maniére, APB or Prosper websites until Sept. 2 to be entered into an in-store raffle.
