By now you've probably heard about the Coraline Dunks, a Wieden + Kennedy 12 collaboration with Nike and Laika studios that celebrate the forthcoming movie Corlaine, that opens on February 6. Falling in line with what the movie consists of, W+K standouts Rob Heppler and Gian Galang designed the sneaker with a sense of anime in mind, and even capped the dunks off with a glow in the dark sole (take that Air Yeezy).
Corlaine marks the first feature film to come out of Nike CEO Phil Knight's Laika animation studio and was directed by Henry Selick. If you're looking to get a pair hit up Ebay (we hear they're going for $4K), or better yet try your luck to win them through Coraline.com (there's something in the closing credits) after you've gone to see the movie on February 6th. Get your popcorn ready.

Don't buy the Dunks now... on Feb. 6, everyone at LAIKA is getting a pair. That means hundreds of shoes will be released and will probably end up on ebay for much cheaper.

Air Yeezy is very good. I bought it in winnersneaker only $89
