During awards season, the hottest fashion statement came from Takashi Yamazaki and the Godzilla Minus One team, who took every opportunity they could, even during the Oscars’ red carpet, to show off amazing custom shoes with Godzilla-claw heels. Well good news: now you can emulate being a history-making Oscar winner in one very specific way, if you’re willing to part with $725.
Toho announced today that the ha | za | ma heeled dress shoes, designed by Ryosuke Matsui, will be available for the first time in the West through the official Godzilla store: both in the men’s design, modeled by Yamazaki himself, and in a women’s heel, inspired by the design worn by visual effects director Kiyoko Shibuya at the 2024 Oscars. The shoes aren’t exact matches of the ones worn by the Minus One team: they have gold detailing and claws, meant to reflect the film’s Oscars victory.
They are, however, still incredibly killer looking shoes, and as such they have a killer price tag: the men’s dress shoes will set you back $725, while the women’s pumps will cost $650. The price to pay for Oscar-worthy kaiju fashion!
Both of the shoes are up for pre-order now until August 29, ahead of an expected ship date in May 2025. Run, don’t walk: save the walking for when you’ve got fancy-heeled shoes to show off.
