The shoes are set to be released in Japan in July. The intern in my office this summer, owner of 18 pairs of Chucks, carrier of Nintendo controller wallet, writer of a master’s thesis whose title included Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: Wild World, says that things like this tend to not make it to the US–maybe the Nintendo World Store in NYC if we’re lucky. But if you hear of how to obtain this unobtainium-for-Americans, he would be delighted to know.
