This sneaker drop bridges childhood memories with modern street style

Monopoly is a core childhood memory for most Indian millennials and Gen Z — a reminder of long games, rent arguments and shared laughter. That nostalgia sparked the collaboration. We wanted to do something new, so we brought Indian streets into the Monopoly universe for the first time. Even the packaging opens into a playable board featuring those streets — a small surprise designed to delight.

Monopoly is instantly identified by its red and green, but we didn’t want to make a shoe that looked like loud merchandise. The direction was to capture the essence without making it gimmicky. So, we kept the base a clean cream tone that’s easy to style and let the details carry the story. The shooting star is done in Monopoly green with a raised M. It adds character, but still feels like a sneaker you can wear every day.

We used high-grade synthetic leather and microfibre so the shoe feels premium but can hold up to regular wear. The shooting star is made in silicone with raised detailing to give it that collectible feel without going overboard.

We brought in nostalgia through familiar Monopoly details but reimagined them to feel premium and collectible. The shoe box folds out into a full Monopoly board featuring real Indian streets like Marine Drive, Church Street and Connaught Place — something even the original game hadn’t done. We also added custom metal game pieces, including a shoe token and dice. The streetwear edge came from our X Lows silhouette and elevated materials, keeping it a true Comet drop first and a collectible second.

We have a line of new designs and drops along with 2 new silhouettes coming up. We are also expanding on the retail side. After Bengaluru and Delhi, we’re opening more Comet stores across the country. There’s a lot in motion and we’re excited to take the brand to the next phase.
