Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

FILA and Pokemon Have Released a Capsule Sneaker Collection

— February 10, 2018 — Fashion
Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Jigglypuff are some of the characters anime fans can sport after the release of the FILA and Pokemon sneaker capsule collection.

This collection features some of the fan-favorite characters in six unique colorways including white, blue, black, pink and yellow. The lace-up sneakers are equipped with a white midsole that provides optimal comfort and support, making for a shoe that's ideal for long term wear. In addition, each silhouette has been stylized to feature an adorable pocket-sized monster on the shoe's sole and includes an illustration of a pokeball on the tongue.

The entire collection is set to drop on February 9th in select retailers in Korea but will be available online.
