Japanese brand MAYLA, known for its stylish collaborations with fan-favorite IPs like Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Rozen Maiden, and K-ON!, has consistently wowed fans with their apparel, footwear, and accessories.
Now, they're teaming up with the hit anime series NieR:Automata Ver1.1a, adapted from the beloved video game. Following up on their highly anticipated "2B" themed heels, MAYLA has just unveiled a new "9S" themed pair of ankle boots! Priced at 33,000 JPY, these beauties are available for pre-order right now on their official site.
For those unfamiliar, "9S" is YoRHa No. 9 Type S, a reconnaissance android from the YoRHa squad. Known for his emotional depth, 9S is a crucial support unit for 2B, boasting exceptional intelligence-gathering skills. He can detect machine lifeform heartbeats in combat and even hack into enemy memories to uncover their past.
However, his inquisitive nature leads him to uncover YoRHa's deepest secrets. Unbeknownst to him, 2B was assigned by the Commander as his executioner, tasked with monitoring his every move. Gradually, 9S begins to piece together the truth from 2B's subtle reactions. Even after realizing he's been "killed" by 2B countless times, he still believes that spending time with "his current self" and 2B is the best thing imaginable.
These collaboration boots draw direct inspiration from 9S's iconic character design. Sporting a sleek black and gold palette, they elegantly transform his signature outfit and aesthetic into a stunning pair of footwear. You'll even spot the distinctive "X" pattern from 9S's choker adorning the boots. For fans who adore the game's unique visual style, these are an absolute must-have – whether you rock them or display them as a collector's piece!
▼ The heel also features MAYLA's signature ribbon design.
▼ The heel itself is adorned with a subtle pattern inspired by his attire.
▼ The "X" pattern from 9S's choker.
▼ The outsole boasts a unique patterned tread, crafted from natural rubber for excellent grip, flexibility, and superior comfort.
And the packaging? It's a full-on NieR:Automata Ver1.1a experience, with a gorgeous full-color illustration of 9S waiting for you inside the box!
