Japanese fashion brand Candy Stripper has announced a playful new addition to its Fall 2026 collection: a pair of monster-themed platform sneakers. Named the "Monster Claw Sneakers," the unique footwear is scheduled to roll out across all physical retail stores and official online channels starting at the end of August 2026.

The standout feature of these sneakers is the prominent “monster claws“ protruding from the toe box. Designed with a plump, three-dimensional volume, the claws create an instant visual impact, allowing wearers to channel a playful monster aesthetic.

In addition to the monster motif, the sneakers feature a thick platform sole, offering a subtle boost in height. The footwear will be available in two classic colorways: black and ivory.
