Fila Taps ‘Dragon Ball Super’ for a Futuristic and Colorful Sneaker Collection

Fila’s latest collection is taking a sci-fi turn, thanks to a collaboration with Toei Animation and FUnimation. The athletic brand is releasing a limited-edition collection inspired by Japanese anime cartoon “Dragon Ball Super.”

The line contains seven styles inspired by various “Dragon Ball” characters, which originally debuted at New York Comic Con this fall. Each style includes “Dragon Ball” logo accents on their tongues, heels and sock liners as well. All pairs, in both men’s and kids’ sizes, will be available at Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports and Footaction on Dec. 21.
