Shirow Masamune's iconic manga, "Ghost in the Shell," shot to international fame with Mamoru Oshii's 1995 animated film adaptation, solidifying its status as a cyberpunk and sci-fi classic. Fans can also look forward to a brand new TV anime series, slated for release in 2026.
Get ready to lace up! Japanese sneaker brand "SPINGLE" (formerly SPINGLE MOVE) has just announced a killer collaboration with the 3DCG anime "Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045." They're dropping a new line of combat boot-inspired sneakers, drawing directly from Motoko Kusanagi's iconic wardrobe. Available in both mid-cut and low-cut styles, you can snag these kicks now at select SPINGLE stores, footwear retailers, and their official online shop.
SPINGLE is a Japanese sports brand renowned for its vulcanized footwear. Using the Vulcaniz method, their shoes combine rubber, fabric, or leather uppers with rubber soles, molded and injected, then vulcanized for exceptional durability. The brand even has retail presence in Taiwan.
Part of their Winter 2025 collection, this "Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045" collab imagines what "SPINGLE sneakers of 2045" would look like, heavily incorporating sustainable materials. The knit colorways and combat boot silhouettes are all directly inspired by protagonist Motoko Kusanagi's in-show attire.
▼ The low-cut "SP-SAC_2045-A" is priced at 29,150 JPY.
This model reimagines SPINGLE's popular mid-cut "SP-442" as a 2045-era sneaker, fused with Motoko Kusanagi's aesthetic. It features a knit upper designed to minimize material waste during cutting, and its outsole boasts SPINGLE's proprietary "RUBEAR CNF Sole," infused with cellulose nanofiber (CNF) for enhanced durability. Plus, it maintains SPINGLE's signature vulcanized construction, using heat and pressure to firmly bond the upper and sole for both toughness and comfort.
▼ The mid-cut "SP-SAC_2045-B" retails for 36,300 JPY.
This model takes direct inspiration from the combat boots Motoko Kusanagi wears in the show. It also uses a knit upper to reduce material waste and features a "VIBRAM ECOSTEP RECYCLE" outsole, made with approximately 30% recycled rubber, emphasizing both functionality and sustainability.
