Hasbro works in collaboration with Irregular Choice on a special Monopoly collection. The two honor the iconic board game in a whimsical way. It is celebrated through a maximalist range of designs defined by bright hues, glitter trimmings, and textural linings. The capsule is comprised of ankle boots, high heels, and Moneybags -- all of these are made with details that nod to the signature game.
It kicks off with the 'Roll the Dice' heels, which literally has a heel made from a bundle of dice. The actual shoe itself is designed with visuals from the game in fine detail and finishes with a regal blue velvet lining on the inside. The base sees more money accents and Mr Monopoly himself.
