The franchise of Pokemon return to Nike shoes: it is the turn of snorlax, going from being just a concept of Andrew Chiou to a whole reality.
Since January 2023 the sneakers created by the art director of the Jordan Brand will be available, as announced in his official Instagram account.
“Pokémon is my favorite childhood anime series. The Snorlax 4s were definitely the ones I was most proud of,” he said.
“It was originally a concept I removed due to unusual color blocking, but I finally decided to post it and everyone went crazy! The shoes will be available in January.”
Chiou, born in Taiwan and based in the United States, is known for creating various sneaker concepts based on anime. So we can see on his Instagram account not only Pokémon models, but also Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon, among other classics of Japanese origin.
The characteristics of the Pokémon Snorlax
snorlax is a pokemon whose name comes from the English snore (snoring) and relax (relaxation), as well as lax (lazy, lazy). Its body is round, with a prominent belly, since as he explains WikiDex “He only wakes up to eat and rarely exercises.”
He has the ability to make trees grow faster, to eat their fruit.
“It is a docile Pokémon: many children often use its large belly as a play area, although you have to be careful not to be crushed when it turns.”
