The Godzilla shoes were originally unveiled in October 2023 as part of a full collaborative collection, which included other styles like a boot where the heel was made to resemble the spikes from Godzilla’s back. The collection also boasted an eau de parfum as well as apparel and accessories.

Currently, Hazama has other campy shoe styles available for purchase, including a dress shoe with vampire denture in the place of heels. The shoes are priced at 95,000 JPY (about $642).

The brand has encouraged those interested to follow them on social media to keep up-to-date with updates.
