“Chiikawa” Indoor Shoes – First Character Collaboration in 4 Years by Hiraki
Hiraki will launch a new series of indoor shoes featuring the popular character “Chiikawa” starting September 6. Pre-orders are already available on the official online store as of the 1st. This marks the company’s first character-themed product release in four years, following its collaboration with Disney-Pixar.

These new shoes are based on the trusted quality of Hiraki’s long-loved indoor shoes, and are designed with careful attention to detail to bring fun to children’s everyday lives. The shoes come in four colors, each with prints of Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, and Momonga on the toe area. The insoles are decorated with the silhouettes of the respective characters. When the left and right insoles are placed together, they form a complete design—helping kids avoid mixing up left and right shoes.

Thick Midsole Cushioning
The shoes are thoughtfully designed with extra toe room to accommodate growing feet and reduce tightness. A soft rubber sole with excellent flexibility reduces strain while walking and offers a comfortable wearing experience. Cushioned midsoles absorb impact, and the breathable, durable canvas fabric makes them ideal for daily use.
