Major footwear brand HEYDUDE has teamed up with the hit manga and anime franchise Naruto for a brand-new shoe collection!
This collaboration features two distinct styles: the Wally Funk x Naruto Sage Mode and the Wally Funk x Naruto Weapons. To elevate the unboxing experience, each purchase includes an additional “blind box” insole, meaning fans will receive one random character design with every pair. By including these mystery insoles, HEYDUDE is ensuring that every purchase feels like a true fan unboxing.
Anime in general has been a steadily growing fandom since the early 2000s, and the Naruto franchise was a massive driver of that growth. Often categorized as one of the “Big Three” shonen titles, the legacy continues today with Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, which still releases new chapters every month.
The Wally Funk Sage Mode blends HEYDUDE’s signature comfort with the bold colors and aesthetic of Naruto’s iconic “Sage Mode” appearance. The design features deep reds paired with black and orange laces to create a unique and distinct look. As an added bonus, the elastic laces feature a removable 3D “Scroll of Seals,” a Nine-Tails Curse foam insole, and kanji script detailing on the outsole.
The Wally Funk Naruto Weapons in Black features 3D embroidered textile motifs of Naruto’s signature weaponry like shuriken and kunai. Like all Wally Funk models, these come equipped with HEYDUDE’s “easy-on” system and elastic laces for the perfect fit.
The collection is available now, exclusively on the HEYDUDE website, for £74.99.
