Vegan footwear brand Koi has debuted a new nostalgic collaboration with the ‘90s television show Teletubbies. The five-piece capsule collection features footwear offerings in the Teletubbies’ distinguishing shades of purple, green, yellow, and red. It pays homage to the show's well-known characters Tinky-Winky, Laa-Laa, Dipsy, and Po and their "wonderfully weird and colorful personalities." Highlights include Koi's best-selling Mary Janes with a Teletubby head on the toes.
With each Tubbytronic patent vegan boot with a bright green trim, chain detailing, as well as a severed Dipsy head tied at the side, Koi has produced the perfect homage boot to the green fuzzy friend.
The limited-edition "Noo Noo" boot pays homage to the lovable vacuum cleaner from the vintage program. The sky blue vegan leather boots come with a big platform sole and Noo Noo's googly eyes. The brand's lace-up military boots are embellished with a Teletubbie print, and Koi's platform, heeled ankle boots in short vegan fleece are available in four eye-catching colorways.
