Pokémon became one of the biggest franchises in the early 2000s, as it was one of the most watched anime. It even remains one of the most followed series in the entire world.
For this reason, the company Nike, Specifically, its Jordan Brand sub-brand will launch commemorative tennis shoes on the market.
These are the Nike Jordan 4 Snorlax

In his Instagram account, he revealed details of this model, which is expected to be available to the public at the end of this month of January.
“Pokémon is my favorite childhood anime series. The Snorlax 4s were definitely the ones I was most proud of. It was originally a concept I removed due to unusual color blocking, but I finally decided to post it and everyone went nuts. The shoes will be available in January“, said.
This designer is known for bringing various anime concepts to life, including Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, and Pokémon.
Snorlax is one of the biggest Pokémon in history, although it is characterized by being lazy. In fact, he was one of the first companions the star character, Ash Ketchum, had.
This is how the shoes look
