The Pokemon Company and Japanese shoe brand Spingle Company are collaborating to release sneakers based on popular characters. They will be available until July 24, 2023 and will ship out some time in mid-December 2023. You can order them via the Pokemon Center Online. Since the Pokemon Center in Japan doesn’t offer international shipping, overseas customers will need to make use of a proxy service. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!]

In total, there are six types of Pokemon sneakers available. You can get footwear that draw inspiration from Dragapult, Tyranitar, Milotic, Sylveon, Umbreon, and Lucario. Aside from the design, the shapes of the shoes vary depending on the Pokemon. The Dragapult and Tyranitar shoes are high top sneakers compared to the Milotic ones, which look closer to flats. All of the sneakers use the patterns and color schemes of the Pokemon they’re based on.
You can check out the Pokemon sneakers from Spingle Company here:
The sneakers come in sizes 22.5 cm to 27.5 cm. The prices vary as well. The Sylveon, Milotic, and Lucario shoes cost 27,500 JPY ($192.45), and the Umbreon ones cost 28,600 JPY ($200.15). The Tyranitar and Dragapult ones cost 29,700 JPY ($207.85).
The Pokemon sneakers are available to order from Japan until July 24, 2023. The current generation of Pokemon, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, will get an expansion in the form of The Teal Mask. That DLC will come out in Fall 2023.
