The "Gundam" Nike Air Max 98, one of the most highly-anticipated OG colorways of the model dropping this year, is finally arriving at U.S. retailers this weekend. 

Dressed in a blue, red, and white upper that resembles the color scheme of the popular mecha anime character, this coveted sneaker is hitting shelves for the first time since 1998. Royal blue mesh, white leather mix, and an obsidian mudguard flow across the upper. Additional design elements include subtle red hits on the branding, eyelets, and full-length Air Max unit. 

Look for the Nike Air Max 98 "Gundam" to hit Nike SNKRS and other select retailers on Saturday, Feb. 24 for $160.
