    Fila has teamed up with Pokémon to create the cutest pairs of shoes ever with officially licensed Pokémon sneakers.

    Teased back in February and confirmed earlier this month from Fila Korea’s official Instagram account, the Fila x Pokémon project will soon launch the “limited collaboration” Court Deluxe shoes in South Korea.

    Confirmed designs take inspiration from beloved Pokémon characters Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Jigglypuff.

    According to Kotaku, there has been no announcement yet for a global release, so it is highly probable that the collection will only be made available in South Korea, at least for the time being.

    Those already salivating at the thought of owning an adorable pair of Pikachu shoes would have to cross their fingers for now.

    Many people might not know this, but despite our large and loyal following which we are immensely grateful for, NextShark is still a small bootstrapped startup that runs on no outside funding or loans.

    Everything you see today is built on the backs of warriors who have sacrificed opportunities to help give Asians all over the world a bigger voice.

    However, we still face many trials and tribulations in our industry, from figuring out the most sustainable business model for independent media companies to facing the current COVID-19 pandemic decimating advertising revenues across the board.

    We hope you consider making a contribution so we can continue to provide you with quality content that informs, educates and inspires the Asian community. Even a $1 contribution goes a long way.  Thank you for everyone's support. We love you all and can't appreciate you guys enough.
