These sneakers stand out thanks to their moss green base inspired by Shinobu Oshino’s aviator hat, as well as the distinctive belt across the top, a reference to her goggles. Yellow works as a bright accent color that can be spotted at the opening of the shoes.
The abstract shape of a french cruller donut can be found at the front of the shoes.
At the opposite end at the heel, you can find the embossed design of a bat on each shoe.
The book sales card tag has snuck its way onto the back of the shoe tongue; don’t miss it!
*Books sold in Japan have a slip of paper called a “sales card” tucked inside used by bookstores to keep inventory records.
The insole design has a grid background taken from Japanese manuscript paper, in which Shinobu’s cute catchphrase of ぱないの!—“Panaino!” can be found. Other motifs include donuts, her aviator hat, Araragi’s household bathtub, a straw hat, the moon, yukata patterns, bats, and more to make this design pop!
