Skechers and One Piece join forces for the second time on a collaborative collection spotlighting the latest Skechers D'Lites 3.0. The new range features footwear sizes for men and women, offering limited edition colorways that reference some of the notable characters of the anime series.
This includes Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar Law -- both of which are seen on two respective colorways. There are also references to Marco, Boa Hancock, Jimbei, Whitebeard, and Whitebeard as well. The sneaker's structure is ultra-chunky and has a midsole that boasts a wave-like design. To round out the entire design are some One Piece logos adorning the tongue tab along with additional colorful themed artwork across the insoles.
