The children's sizes come in two silhouettes, namely the Child All-Star Light Pokemon V-1 HI and the Child All Star Light Pokemon V-1 OX. Inspired by Pikachu, Eevee, Piplup, and Mew, the children's sneakers feature an ankle patch that changes into a Monster Ball, Master Ball, or Hyper Ball depending on the angle.

The sock liner features a Pikachu-oriented graphic on the left foot. The shoes also feature a removable antibacterial cup insole and a velcro tab to make the shoes easy to wear and take off. The Child All-Star Light Pokemon V-1 HI retails for ¥ 6,600 ( approx $50.59).
