HENSHIN by Kamen Rider clothing line
Has anyone heard of this? It popped up on my news feed today. The shoes look sick! These are being released 9n the 11th February.
https://henshin-k.bandai.co.jp/item/ |
I'd seen the shoes but not the shirts. The sprite ones are kinda cute but I can't say anything here's my thing
|
The shoes were up for pre-order at Tokullectibles, but I'm really not sure if they will go through. Such a premium item at a relatively fast turnaround, I'd be surprised if they actually make it stateside.
|
The brand launches officially February 10th, 2021 JST. A pop-up store is planned in the Isetan Shinjuku Department Store from the 10th to the 16th. They are starting with Kuuga, Faiz, and W-themed apparel from Shoes to clothing and accessories. Initial batch of products are also in collaboration with designer fashion brands FUMITO GANRYU and ANREALAGE it seems. What's crazy is that the intricate details all differ from each other; Kuuga shoes have the Linto letters engraved, Faiz has the bottom part of the soles resembling the original's, and W's has a USB port. That is wild. :rock:
|
Faiz is also UV reactive like the glowing lines of the suit.
|
I assume the Agito merch will be released under the Honshin imprint.

I'd probably go in for Ex-Aid or Build shoes if possible, although I'm not sure how I'd feel wearing mismatched (or Best-Matched) coloured shoes. It appears that they'll be doing it for all the Heisei riders as in one of the promo pics it shows a wall of 20 feet and empty slots with three being filled in for Kuuga, Faiz and W, all in numerical order.

I can only imagine what some of the other designs will look like! At a basic level some of the suit shoes are rather basic so I'm interested to see how they incorporate gimmicks and motifs. Some standouts I can think of would be Blade with vinyl armor panels, Drive with a rubber wheel running through it, and of course Ex-Aid which already look like awesome sneakers. |

That said, I love the Faiz shoes, and am incredibly bummed (but not too surprised) that they are only offered in tiny sizes. Those came out looking really good! |

The Faiz shoes would actually look really good with Geiz in his "civilian(?)" clothes.

I'm waiting for the hopeful release of Wizard designed shoes.
|
I'd rock those Faiz shoes, but damn are those shirts expensive.
|
I personally really like the W shoes just for how well they emulate the suit's foot design. I believe the soles inside also have one side showing the agency's tile flooring and the other being the Planet Bookshelves.
|
If they make Hibiki, they would look very cool with a Tabi style design in that iconic purple.

So it seems that OOO is the next rider to get a pair of fancy, undersized shoes! Wonder how they'll pull of the tri-colour sole.
|
So last week they launched a bunch of clothes based on Ryuki, OOO, Fourze and Ex-Aid, including a nice pair of OOO that was teased in the pop up shop:https://henshin-k.bandai.co.jp/item/item-1000155266
|
I picked up the Faiz shoes in my converted size and they still feel tight/small!

I think they will loosen up over time but then again I'm not sure when I'd ever wear them. They will probably just be a collector piece until I run out of room and need to sell them. Faiz stuff is probably the 2nd most stuff I have after Kabuto.

I'm not one of them, but I am pretty familiar with Sneaker Heads and the sneaker collecting industry. I too find it bizarre how many expensive shoes are bought to never be worn. But hey, the resale industry for limited and rare shoes is pretty strong so I was comfortable buying these.
This is the first time I've bought something like this, though I do have other wearable items like belt buckles and backpacks. |

Their Twitter page has just teased another pair of shoes based on a Rider from the same batch of T shirts as OOO, Kamen rider Rider! If they are doing these in the same batch as the shirts, then that means Ex Aid or Fourze ia up next, before they do another pair of shoes and 3-4 different rider's merchandise.
