    “Yu-Gi-Oh!” fans can take their love for the Japanese manga and anime series to the next level with a special pair of shoes from Adidas.

    The upcoming collaboration between “Yu-Gi-Oh!” and the German shoe company was inspired by none other than Yami Yugi, one of the series’ main protagonists who holds the title “King of Games.”

    The sneakers, which Adidas calls a “new, spellbinding, take on the Adi2000 silhouette,” feature several special elements, including “a black leather upper, contrasting gold stripes, purple accents, and pink details.”

    While the right shoe features “Time to Duel” on its tongue, the left shoe has “King of Games.”

    Those who purchase the shoe can also expect to receive “Millennium Item lace jewels, the last piece of Exodia hangtag, and a limited co-branded Dark Magician card.”

    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.
