It’s 2002, you’ve just finished school and you’re now sat in front of the TV ready to watch Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup fight the never-ending world of crime. Rumoured to be combining forces with the Powerpuff franchise is Nike SB, releasing what could be a three-shoe capsule that is sure to have the Y2K crowd going wild.
With the Cartoon Network programme celebrating its 25th Anniversary in 2023, it would make sense to see the collection drop before the end of the year. As cartoon-inspired sneakers continue to command the spotlight in 2023, with MSCHF’s Astro Boy-inspired Big Red Boots and Nike SB’s Dunk High Doraemon, it was only a matter of time before we saw the Powerpuff Girls break into the sneaker world.
While no official or leaked photos have surfaced, we’re not expecting these to remain hidden for too much longer. Whether or not the capsule will drop on the same day is also up for discussion, because for serious Powerpuff fans out there, owning all three is the only correct answer. That being said, it could just be the one-pair edition, going for Nike’s ‘What The’ approach that combines Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup’s colours all onto one shoe. Either way, we’re certain Nike’s release strategy will not only pack a nostalgia punch but arrive with all the magical SB energy that made the division great during the early 2000s.
