Puma reveals anime girl sneakers

Lycoris Recoil fans will soon be able to rep Chisato and Takina on their feet, as Puma has revealed a new line of themed sneakers inspired by the popular anime.

It’s been a big year for anime girl collabs, with everything from Umamusume race cars, VTuber coastguard recruitment campaigns, and ASMR anime girl earbuds (seeing is believing).

Following hot on the heels of the above, German sports apparel and footwear company Puma is stepping into the world of anime waifus. This time, it’s releasing sneakers themed on Lycoris Recoil’s best girl duo.

Lycoris Recoil gets sneaker collab

The special edition Rebound Slam Lo Zero Recoil comes in two variants, with fans being able to slip on a pair of Chisato Nishikigi or Takina Inoue sneakers.

Instead of plastering each anime girl’s face onto each shoe, the designs offer a more subtle design, which is great for those who want to wear weeby drip that is a little more practical (never a bad thing if you want to avoid an onslaught of questions).

Both sneakers are jet black and come with insoles that have some sleek-looking anime artwork of the girls. The main differences between the two sneakers are in the colored laces, with both Chisato having red/blue laces and metal charms featuring their names.

Depending on which sneaker you purchase, you’ll get a postcard with artwork showing Chisato or Takina wearing the Rebound Slam Lo Zero Recoils. Those who can’t decide between the two can always add both to their collection, and if you do so, you’ll get a limited-edition acrylic keychain as a bonus.






The sneakers will be available via web pre-orders in Japan from July 2 to August 2, 2026, priced at ¥15,400 (around $95 USD) per pair.

Puma will also host a special Lycoris Recoil pop-up event to celebrate the launch, which runs from July 2 to July 20 at the Kinshicho Maruiin shopping mall in Tokyo.

So, if you’re in Japan during these dates, you’ll be able to swing by and take a look at sneaker samples, newly drawn collaboration artwork, and exclusive Lycoris Recoil merch.

Speaking of anime girl-themed footwear, Nintendo eShop is now selling an anime feet game, which is just as bizarre as it sounds.
