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.

Faiz is also UV reactive like the glowing lines of the suit.

I assume the Agito merch will be released under the Honshin imprint.

As in it changes color and stuff under blacklight? Nice.
Would not be surprised if the tongue of the shoes had retractable cross horns. Last edited by Sunred; 02-05-2021 at 11:53 PM.. |

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.
