Comic-Incorporated Sneakers

The Peanuts x Bata Tennis Collection Celebrates the Brand's 65th Year

The new Peanuts movie will be out later this year, but in the interim there are the darling The Peanuts x Bata Tennis Collection to help tide you over till you can experience the hijinks of Charlie Brown and the gang on the big screen. Created to celebrate the brand's 65th anniversary, The Peanuts x Bata Tennis Collection sees the characters themselves being discreetly incorporated into the shoe's design. For example, one pair features Charlie Brown on one toe with Snoopy on the other, looking like they're playing a quick game of tennis.

Naturally, The Peanuts x Bata Tennis Collection features an all-white color scheme that will look great on the court and makes the tiny illustrations on each shoe really pop.
