BT21: Down the memory lane
A collaboration project between LINE Friends and BTS, BT21 was officially launched in 2017. Each avatar represents a specific BTS member while the gray and white character named Van represents the ARMY, the fans of the K-pop band.
With the overwhelming support of fans, what started as cute stickers for online communication platform Friends, turned into a favorite. Eventually, the brand expanded, paving the way for the birth of the BT21 Universe where the story of every character was unveiled through animated videos and online games.
BT21 has captured the hearts of Gen Z and Millennial audiences around the world. It already has stores in different countries where fans can buy various merchandise inspired by the characters, from shirts and bags to mobile equipment.
When it comes to shoes, this is not the first time BT21 has partnered with another global brand. Previously, it collaborated with other powerhouse names such as Fila, Converse, and Reebok.
Meanwhile, Skechers PH said that its BT21 collection is a limited edition. Fans are encouraged to pre-order online.
