Joe Jonas teamed up with the sneaker company Koio for a new ’80s-inspired shoe collection.  Since, you know, he’s a TOTAL child of the ’80s being born in 1989.

Joe said, “A lot of my favorite bands and artists are from the ’80s, there were so many brilliant entertainers unafraid of being authentic to themselves, so I wanted that to be reflected in what I pulled as inspiration.”

During the design process, Joe said he played a lot of Duran DuranBoy GeorgeThe PoliceWham! in the background, and he watched “The Goonies”.

The iridescent blue color was also inspired by “Tron”.

The shoes are available now for a limited time on Koio.com.
