"These are Joe Kyuu Juu's special plimsolls.
Without them, he's a boy.
Wearing them, he's a boy with plimsolls."

Sorry about that. Made by Japan's biggest shoe manufacturer MoonStar, these sturdy little rubber-soled chaps came in various sizes (14.0 to 22.5, UK equivalent is child 6½ to adult 3½) and had a white "flash" motif on the front of each shoe featuring a drawing of Joe at the controls of an aircraft, with Mac's Car flying behind him.

Inside was a simple line drawing of Joe with gun drawn and his case to one side.

The shoes were available in different colours, including white and blue.

The box art also featured Sam and his car, and the Rat Trap symbol. The boxes themselves were several different sizes depending on the size of shoe inside.

Made in Japan.
