In 2020, Wizards of the Coast collaborated with-Swiss to produce the 300-pair limited-edition Jace Beleren sneaker, which was sold exclusively on the Hasbro Pulse web site. As part of the development process, K-Swiss also produced this prototype pair of Magic: The Gathering branded sneakers, but this design was not used, making these prototypes extremely rare.

The sneakers are crafted with premium leather overlays and underlays that are accented by glow-in-the-dark elements with the leather collar lining, printed designs, rubber outsole and extra laces all inspired by Jace’s power and costume. Metal lace clip-ons modeled after Jace’s character design and a debossed “Magic: The Gathering” logo at the tongue and a sublimated sockliner of Jace’s artwork complete the magical reinvention of this classic K-Swiss style. They are packaged with a special-edition box and tissue paper.

Following its “Back to Hogwarts” collection, K-Swiss has returned to unveil an unexpected collaboration with collectible card game, Magic: The Gathering. For the team-up, the iconic vanguard of strategy card games put together a reimagination of the Gstaad ’86 silhouette.

Referencing its 25 years of character heritage, the Magic: The Gathering x K-Swiss Gstaad ’86 is inspired by one of the most beloved characters, Jace Beleren. Elements of the popular Planeswalker have been imbued onto the premium leather overlays underlays that make up the upper. The master of mental magic’s costume design informs the glow-in-the-dark details, leather collar lining, printed designs, rubber outsole and extra laces. Other decorative points include the metal lace clip-ons and a debossed Magic: The Gathering logo at the tongue and a sublimated sockliner of Jace’s artwork. Limited to just 300 pairs, each shoe comes in a special-edition box and accompanying themed tissue paper packing.
