I Can 「オラオラ」 with My Feet Now!

 

I feel like all the recent posts have followed this pattern: Do you remember the collaboration between Converse and Bandai that gave us the JoJo hightops? Actually, more appropriately, do you remember the announced Jotaro Shoes? Well, it’s time to expand your shoe closet with a little product from Premium Bandai.

This is one of the most Jotaro things I’ve ever seen. The shoe is the classic blue, the top lace rings are stars, the back has the hand plate as a patch, the bottom of the shoes have Jotaro on one foot and Star Platinum on the other, it comes in that fancy box with them both, and if you look closely at the body of the shoe, it is patterned with 「オラ」 on any part that is blue except the laces and the toe cap. It’s a bit hard to see at a glance because they are the same color, but it’s clear on a good look.

The shoes are currently available for preorder from Premium Bandai and are going for ¥11,880. They come in sizes ranging from 22cm – 30cm, about a Ladies size 5 to a Mens size 15 in U.S. terms. You can even order it in a nice pink or green gift wrap for an extra ¥200. Be quick, though. The preorder period will close in one month on June 15th. The shoes are expected to launch in the latter third of December.

A Friendly Drink at Jujo on my New Jotaro Feet

There are a lot of JoJo themed things out there. I usually like to talk about toys, but let’s get away from the kids and have a night on the town with good food, good drink, and Polnareff all over the walls. There are plenty of JoJo themed bars, and getting to go to one is rare treat for those of us outside Japan or Korea. It does happen, though, and you can now get an inside peek at a one called Jujo courtesy of Dio Motherfucking Brando Tumblr. Each picture up there, in order of decoration, bathroom, and food links to the album it came from.

And while we’re on the subject of JoJo themed things, a new entry has been made in the JoJo Converse series. In conjunction with the new anime, it’s time for Jotaro to adorn your feet. It’s got the rich blue color from Jotaro’s traditional coat, a nice sound effect pattern, and Jotaro’s hand symbol on the heel. JoJo’s aside, it’s a very nice and stylish shoe. I particularly like dark blue colors, so these are particularly good looking. You can see more pictures of them over on animedads.
