The All Star Eleking R HI is a representation of the iconic space monster featuring mottled black and white patterns along the upper and sole. To represent the ominous characteristic of Eleking, the shoe glows in the dark. The All Star Vartan Say Jin R Slip OX replicates the face of the alien ninja Baltan, by utilizing the same color and texture of the villain.
