Well, if rumours are anything to go by, there is definitely a possibility that we will see a Mojo Jojo x Nike SB Dunk Low collaboration in the future.
For a while now, speculation has been rife about a fourth character-themed Nike SB Dunk Low sneaker joining the Powerpuff Girls collection, with the villainous but delightful Mojo Jojo believed to be stepping into that role. It’s no surprise, really; his popularity among fans is undeniable.
Of course, both the Powerpuff Girls x Nike SB Dunk Low packaging and the sneaker itself sport elements of Mojo Jojo, which only adds fuel to the rumours. But, with all that said, have you actually pictured what a Mojo Jojo inspired SB Dunk could look like?
To help you along, we’ve rounded up a few of the best speculative mockups and concept designs for the potential collaboration. So, without further ado, let’s look at these exciting designs and imagine how they could bring Mojo Jojo’s iconic style to life on a pair of Nike SB Dunk Lows.
Mojo Jojo x Nike SB Dunk Low by JF Grails
The highly-anticipated Mojo Jojo Nike SB Dunk Low, rumoured to be a friends and family exclusive release, has become the subject of much speculation. Sneaker blogger JF Grails (@jfgrails) has unveiled a potential concept design based on insider details. Though not officially confirmed, the illustrated sneaker borrows design cues from the actual Powerpuff Girls footwear releases. Hence, this rendering is a more credible representation of what a Mojo Jojo Nike SB might look like.
The proposed design sees the villain’s iconic gaze stitched into the heel tab, with his mischievous grin decorating the heel counter. This pairs harmoniously with the black midsole, resonating with the character’s infamous aesthetic. Mojo Jojo’s characteristic vibrant green hue also highlights the outsole.
Accompanying these elements, the concept sneaker features profile Swooshes striped to echo his helmet. The upper, imagined in a textured suede material, incorporates shades of purple and green synonymous with the villain. This design, though speculative, provides us with a tantalising glimpse into what the Mojo Jojo Nike SB Dunk Low might offer.
Mojo Jojo x Nike SB Dunk Low by Nice Kicks
Inspired by rumours about a fourth colourway in the Powerpuff Girls x Nike SB collaboration, Nice Kicks (@nicekicks) creatively imagined a design featuring the infamous cartoon network villain.
The sneaker exhibits a charming blend of crisp white leather intermixed with regal purple suede and adorned with pink and green highlights to portray the character’s aesthetics. A significant detail to appreciate is the white heel, embellished with purple stitching, an ode to Mojo Jojo’s distinctive headgear that hides his exposed brain. This is a nice touch, indeed.
Mojo Jojo x Nike SB Dunk Low by Plugged Inn
The design that has been causing a generous amount of buzz on social media this year is the brilliant work from Plugged Inn. It can be found on their Instagram page, @pluggedinn.io. This much-anticipated colourway embraces all of Mojo Jojo’s trademark shades. To start with, the understated charm of purple is used to capture the inside of his cape and the purple accents on his helmet. It envelops the outsole, heel counter, and the panelling that extends up to the lace stays.
Moving forward, the pristine white, reminiscent of Mojo Jojo’s gloves, is tastefully used on the midsole. It also adorns the Nike SB Swoosh and the laces of these stylish sneakers. The sneakers’ under-panelling, tongue, and toe box are vibrant green, mirroring Mojo Jojo’s skin. This vibrant twist is mellowed by the inclusion of a soothing blue panelling, offering a unique balance.
Mojo Jojo x Nike SB Dunk Low Custom Designs
Of course, numerous custom concept designs for the Mojo Jojo Nike SB Dunk Low have been conceived and executed by gifted sneaker artists, warranting our attention. Notably, sneaker artist Andrew Chiou (@andu.c) has ingeniously crafted a pair that perfectly brings the villain to life in sneaker form.
The design features various colours and details reminiscent of the villain’s look. From his signature green skin colour and black fur represented on the toe box to undulating purple patterns that mimic his iconic white and purple helmet, every aspect of Mojo Jojo’s iconic appearance is captured in this custom sneaker design.
Renowned custom sneaker artist John Trottier (@johnnyskicks_) is yet another addition to the list of designers to create a Mojo Jojo-inspired concept this year. His design features a base made of green suede overlaid with a hairy black fabric. The distinctive cheeky grin of Mojo Jojo gets a refresh in Trottier’s design, featuring a prominently increased size and once again adorning the heel of the sneaker.
It’s crucial to note that all these designs are based on speculation and rumours. Yet, as the saying goes, “Where there’s smoke, there’s often fire.” To the best of our knowledge, Nike hasn’t confirmed (or denied) a potential collaboration in the pipeline. Regardless, as fans, we would undoubtedly be delighted to see any of these sneakers become a reality. Maybe with some gentle nudging, Nike SB might mull over a future Mojo Jojo release. There’s unmistakable fan interest, so it’s far too early to dismiss this possibility.
