Pokémon and Zara teamed up on a pair of black boots with heels that look like Poké Balls. While there are plenty of Pokémon-inspired fashion designs and accessories that fall into the category of generic merchandise, this footwear design fuses the beloved anime franchise with high-fashion. From the side, the shoes reveal a stylish two-color heel and from the back, the button and other details of the iconic Poké Ball can be appreciated.
Zara China's anime-inspired black boots are exclusive to China, although fans from different countries have their eyes on the unique design. The affordable, fashionable and officially licensed footwear for Pokémon fans retails for an affordable price, offering a stylish way for fans to upgrade their wardrobe and collection simultaneously.
