Get ready to stomp on buildings like Godzilla himself because the epic Godzilla: Minus One shoes you saw on the Oscars red carpet are now available for purchase. In case you missed it, let’s catch you up. The entire Godzilla: Minus One team came to the Oscars with the best fashion statement of all: shoes inspired by Godzilla: Minus One, which feature our favorite monster decorating the heel. And honestly, they are some of the best bits of nerdy fashion I’ve seen in a minute. Let’s roar into more details on the shoe and, more importantly, how you can own it.
The Godzilla: Minus One Shoes
Here are the Godzilla: Minus One shoes in action. As you can see, the shoe works for both men and women by simply swapping out a normal heel with a Godzilla claw. Why didn’t we think of that?
These shoes are obviously god-tier—some might say Kaiju-tier. Not only do they look intensely epic, but they are also very sensible heels. Godzilla salutes this fashion and function decision. And we salute this truly iconic nerdery. Godzilla: Minus One deserved to win its Oscar, the first for the Godzilla franchise, for many reasons. But if nothing else, we would have voted for its victory simply for these shoes.
Can You Buy the Godzilla: Minus One Shoes?
Of course, the next natural question is, are these amazing Godzilla: Minus One shoes for sale? And the answer is yes. The Godzilla: Minus One shoes are now officially for sale. A release shares, “Toho International, the distributor behind the Academy Award-winning Godzilla Minus One, has partnered with Japanese fashion brand ha | za | ma to release handcrafted luxury footwear and apparel inspired by the film.”
Fans in the US can pre-order these Godzilla: Minus One fashion pieces through Godzilla.com until August 29. Two kinds of Godzilla shoes are available, the “Dress Shoes of Destiny” and the “Heeled Pumps of Destiny.” Both feature Godzilla’s hand functioning as the heel. But getting a Kaiju to prop up your foot does not come cheap. These Godzilla: Minus One shoes cost $725 and $650, respectively. That’s a pretty penny!
If you want to own the Godzilla: Minus One shoes, you’d better act fast. They’ll only be available until August 29.
More About the Designer of the Godzilla Shoes
The designer responsible for the shoes stepped forward to reveal themselves earlier in the year after it was clear there was much love for the Godzilla heel. Matsui Ryosuke was the designer who created the Godzilla: Minus One footwear. It seems that Matsui Ryosuke actually has actually designed many shoes with unique heels including hands for heels and vampire teeth for heels. But by the looks of things, Matsui Ryosuke created a Godzilla shoe and a Godzilla boot.
The designer shared on Twitter, “Thank you very much for paying attention to the shoes we made. We created these shoes in collaboration with “Godzilla Minus One.” There is a possibility that we may be able to sell the stock in a little while, so if you are interested, please wait for information from us.” In a later statement, he noted, “We are considering selling Godzilla shoes in some form overseas around the summer.” And now they’re here!
We will definitely be daydreaming about getting to stomp around in these shoes… After we win the lottery.
