Go, go gadget sneaker! Jump into action with these Inspector Gadget x Nike SB Dunk Low sneakers!
When we think of bionic crime fighters, it’s safe to say that Inspector Gadget is a, uhm, UNIQUE standout. Known for his clumsiness and a litany of hidden gadgets in every nook and cranny of his mechanical body, this loveable detective somehow always finds a way to “solve” crimes in the most amusing manner possible.
Okay, so he doesn’t quite have Robocop’s cool composure and unyielding toughness, nor is he as infinitely cool as Cyborg. Yet Inspector Gadget’s quirks, irresistible charm, and an unforgettable array of nifty (and always helpful) gadgets never fail to create a show full of entertainment.
Amidst all the chaos, you can barely contain your giggles at Gadget’s follies while inwardly cheering on his industrious niece Penny and their loyal dog Brain – the true crime-fighting heroes of the show. Yet despite his lack of skill in actual crime-fighting, his distinct outfit made sure he at least looked the part.
Inspector Gadget had an undeniable ability to pull off his trademark trench coat and hat with a flair that made him somewhat of a style icon. Should you wish to echo this distinctive style (minus the oddities, we hope), this custom Inspector Gadget x Nike SB Dunk Low, masterfully designed by Dariyn Enriquez @dope_don_designs, might well be the perfect find for you.
A Closer Look at the Sneaker Design
The sneaker presents an almost gradient look, beginning with a light grey on the toe and tongue and gradually intensifying to a deep black at the heel.
From there, bright blue accents prominently feature on the profile swooshes, adding a bit of excitement to this mostly monochromatic style. However, a minor detail worth noting is the subtle black trim that frames the iconic check logo to represent the character’s silhouette or outline. It’s these small nuances included by Enriquez that always make his sneaker designs something you can look forward to.
But, in case you were wondering where all these different shades of grey, black and blue come from, they are inspired by the character’s crime-fighting attire. Gadgets light-grey Mackintosh raincoat, trilby hat, blue trousers and light-grey shoes are all subtly featured in the stunning design.
A black midsole and blue outsole finish off the look, complete with a set of spotless white laces for that perfect touch. We can’t help but admire Enriquez’s reflection of the unlikely hero’s signature style in the Nike SB Dunk Low design, particularly given the scarcity of Inspector Gadget-themed sneakers to date.
There is the “Inspector Gadget” Kobe 5 PEs, which we hope Nike will make available to a wider audience in the foreseeable future. But for now, we can enjoy this Custom Nike SB sneaker from Enriquez, and with the design receiving over 66,183 likes and counting, it appears we’re not alone in this sentiment.
