Are you sitting down right now? Because we have some groundbreaking news for y’all. Minecraft-inspired sneakers are coming just in time for back-to-school shopping from GroundUp International’s new kids' collection. Capturing the iconic elements of the beloved block-building game in shoe form, they put out two main sneaker styles that are cleverly designed to let young fans transport a bit of the Minecraft universe with them out in the real world.
First up is the Creeper High Top, made for those who get a thrill out of channeling the game’s notorious creeping menaces. On one side, we have the classic cube-headed Creeper visage, while the other has two of the most recognizable Minecraft protagonists - Alex and Steve. There’s also fun little touches like Creeper keychain accents and TNT-detonator-styled tongue, which sort of add to the mischievous vibe, as do the inner dirt block-print linings.
For a more relaxed look, there’s also the creature-covered Minecraft Slip-On with its pink-and-teal color scheme. The toes are decorated with a gathering of familiar Minecraft mobs like Steve, zombies, cows, dogs and spiders, allowing fans to showcase their love for all the game’s characters in an understated, playful way.
Made to fit a wide range of young fans,the shoes come in both toddler and youth sizes, ranging from 1-5 and 11-13.
Ground Up Minecraft Creeper Hi Sneaker
For that chonky look.
The Ground Up Minecraft Creeper Hi Sneaker is a vibrant green high-top shoe designed for kids. It features Creepers on one side and iconic characters Alex and Steve on the other.
We’re really pumped about this, because the Minecraft collaboration represents a broader convergence happening between gaming and fashion. I mean sure, GroundUp has partnered like this before with major entertainment brands, but snagging a partnership with a pop culture phenomenon as massive as Minecraft is a big deal for the sneaker company.
Ground Up Minecraft Chibi Slip-On Sneaker
The sleeker option.
The Ground Up Minecraft Chibi Slip-On Sneaker is a playful, light pink shoe adorned with colorful chibi Minecraft graphics on the toe. It features durable rubber soles for a non-slip grip and elastic sides for easy wear.
Anyhoozy, if these fit your style then you should really hea over to the website and get your hands on ‘em. Here’s to a successful collaboration!
