Looking to buy the iconic kaiju footwear from the Oscars? The Godzilla Minus One shoes might go on sale very soon.
Oscars night always features a dizzying array of fashion statements and pieces (or lack thereof in John Cena’s streaking bit). From Emily Blunt’s floating sleeves to Emma Stone’s gorgeous white dress that broke before she won Best Actress, the award ceremony is an opportunity for celebrities to strut out in their best. But this year’s Oscar’s fashion moment isn’t a Vera Wang dress, a Louis Vuitton bag, or a Hugo Boss suit. That honour goes to the shoes worn by the Godzilla Minus One crew—and they might be available for purchase soon.

Not only did the Godzilla Minus One team nab the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, but they rocked up to the ceremony reppin’ the king of the monsters. Takashi Yamazaki, Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi, and Tatsuji Nojima were all wearing shoes with Godzilla-clawed heels, a subtle yet oh-so-fashionable way to celebrate the iconic kaiju. Despite being subtle, people noticed it. Many online loved the shoes and began asking where they could get their own pair.
Apparently, the shoes were made by a Japanese designer brand Hazama and designed by Matsui Ryosuke. The designer has actually designed several shoes similar to the Godzilla Minus One shoes but with different heels like a hand, vampire fangs, and a gun—yes, a gun. The shoes were made in collaboration with the film, but the ones the crew wore were not just the only designs. Ryosuke took to the Platform Formerly Known as Twitter to unveil boots sporting the black Godzilla fin heel and another but with a red variation of the heel.
Ryosuke, after thanking everyone for gushing over the nerdy footwear, also made the exciting announcement that “there is a possibility that we may be able to sell the stock in a little while” and advised everyone interested to wait for further details. Hopefully, we can strut in our very own Godzilla Minus One shoes sometime in the next few months.
