New Additions to IFME's Animal-Themed Collection

In late January 2026, IFME, a children's shoe brand under Marubeni Consumer Brands Inc., will introduce delightful new products featuring pandas and red pandas under its beloved "IFME Animal" series. This expansion aligns with the brand's ongoing commitment to providing fun and engaging designs for children.

Adorable Panda and Red Panda Sneakers

The new "IFME Animal One-Belt Sneakers" showcase the charming faces of pandas and red pandas peeking out when the straps are undone, creating a whimsical appeal that children will love. These designs have garnered considerable attention on social media since the series launched in February 2025, proving to be a favorite among kids and parents alike.

In addition to these new styles, the popular dinosaur-themed shoes will feature fashionable silhouettes of T. rex and stegosaurus, crafted in vibrant colors that embody the energy of youth. This collection encourages children to express their personalities through playful and imaginative footwear.

Exciting New Sizes and Extended Offerings

Responding to customer requests for larger sizes, the "IFME Animal Cat Sneakers" will now be available in various KIDS sizes (15.0cm to 18.0cm). Furthermore, IFME will unveil exclusive first shoes designed for the tiniest feet, featuring playful designs of cats and dogs to cater to a wider range of children. The collection will offer an array of charming footwear options that are both stylish and comfortable.

All shoes in the series boast special features: the BABY line flaunts adorable "paw print soles" that are lightweight yet grip the ground effectively, while the KIDS shoes incorporate a durable yet lightweight sole that supports active play. Notably, the dinosaur-themed sneakers share the same lightweight sole across both BABY and KIDS categories, ensuring quality remains uncompromised.
