The Otomo Katsuhiro x SB Dunk Low “Steamboy” is a highly anticipated collaboration that merges the world of manga with sneaker culture. Announced in 2024, this partnership brings together the legendary manga artist Katsuhiro Otomo, renowned for his work on “Akira,” and iconic SB Dunk Low, creating a unique and culturally rich footwear piece.
The design of the Steamboy Dunk Low draws inspiration from Otomo’s lesser-known but equally influential work, “Steamboy.” The sneaker’s colorway and detailing pay homage to the film’s steampunk aesthetic and its industrial, Victorian-era settings. The upper is primarily crafted from premium leather and suede in shades of brown and sepia, reminiscent of the mechanical and earthy tones prominent in the movie.
The inner lining of the sneaker showcases exclusive artwork from Otomo, creating a hidden gem for fans of his work. The tongue and insole are adorned with co-branded logos, including Otomo’s signature and unique graphics from “Steamboy,” cementing the collaborative nature of this design.
