FILA and Nintendo's Pokémon Shoes are Highly Nostalgic

— March 22, 2018 — Fashion
FILA and Nintendo collaborate on exclusive Pokémon shoes. The capsule consists of five distinct anime-themed designs on the sports brand's iconic Court Deluxe Low-Top silhouette. Boasting a leather upper, references to the cult favorite cartoon on the tongue and the heels, as well as velcro straps, the Pokémon shoes are definitely a blast from the past and nostalgia-heavy.

The product will be stylishly packaged as well. The sporty and comfortable sneakers will come in a special limited edition box that is decorated with a Pokéball logo, as well as Nintendo's and FILA's branding.

Currently, the Pokémon shoes are only available in South Korea, however, a world wide drop is sure to come. Without a doubt, the FILA x Nintendo sneakers will be the one of the most sought out designs for 2018.
