SuperGroupies and Square Enix will be collaborating on a line of Kingdom Hearts III shoes inspired by characters from the Kingdom Hearts series. These include boots and sneakers inspired by Sora, Riku, Kairi, Axel, and Roxas’ designs. The Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Roxas shoes will cost ¥16,800 (which is roughly $158), and the Axel pair will cost ¥18,800 (around $177). People can pre-order them starting now, and these pre-orders will remain open until September 14, 2020. The shoes are expected to ship in mid-January 2021. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
Every pair of Kingdom Hearts shoes from SuperGroupies has been designed to show signature details of every character, including specific patterns and motifs associated with them. This means that the Sora shoe will be tailored to reflect his character design in Kingdom Hearts III. (This applies to Riku and Kairi as well.) However, since Roxas’ design has remained mostly static throughout the series after his introduction, it will have the checkered pattern fans are familiar with.
You can look at pictures of the shoes below:
Another piece of Kingdom Hearts III merchandise folks can get their hands on is the upcoming release of the Kingdom Hearts III original soundtrack. Scheduled to release this November 2020, the original soundtrack will include tracks from other entries in the series such as Kingdom Hearts Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross] and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue.
Kingdom Hearts III is available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
