As hype continues to build for the Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the doll's signature style has entered the cultural zeitgeist. Fans of the trend now have a Nike to emblematize their movement — a Dunk High doused in various shades of pink.

A far cry from the influx of minimal sneakers like the Tom Sachs x Nike General Purpose Shoe and JJJJound x Reebok NPC II, the Nike Dunk High "Hoops" starts with a hairy suede base in a pinky-purple hue that sets the stage for a brighter pink on the overlays. An off-white tongue, laces and midsole adds a vintage touch while a black Swoosh brings contrast.

Take a look at the forthcoming drop in the gallery above and stay tuned for release in the coming weeks.
