With two Ambush x Nike Dunk Highs already having released in black and fuchsia, the Yoon Ahn-led Japanese label is getting ready to add a third colorway to the mix.

Ahead of the Ambush x Nike Dunk High “Deep Royal Blue” release, Yoon took to Twitter to warn her fans that fake pairs are already abound. “Real comes with blue label,” Yoon wrote alongside an image of the shoe’s woven tongue tag.

As of publishing, the current fake versions of the “Deep Royal Blue” colorway erroneously have a white tongue label, making it rather easy to spot the replicas for the time being. However, it should be noted that fake manufacturers are often quick to react to these discrepancies and could potentially correct the mistake soon.

An official release date for the Ambush x Nike Dunk High “Deep Royal Blue” has not been announced, but the collaboration is expected to release this summer for a retail price of $180.

UPDATE (05/11): End. Clothing has confirmed that the “Deep Royal Blue” Ambush x Nike Dunk Highs are releasing overseas on May 18, but a stateside launch has yet to be announced by the Swoosh.
