I suppose you can cinch up the hood and create a semi-Spartan helmet visor look with it. Still, this garment seems to be more to be a demonstration of Big Brand A + Big Brand B = $$$$, rather than of street cred or gamer bonafides.

They also won't be sold to the general public. Ron Eagle, the director of product publicity for the PlayStation, said he got a call from Nike, who wanted to make him some PlayStation-themed shoes to say thanks for past collaboration and support. Eagle is a self-described "shoe guy," so of course the idea fired him up.

When I got the call and was told that they wanted to make a shoe, of course the first thing I asked was … what kind? They told me they were working on a new training shoe, one that would be technically very advanced, but would harken back to some of the great training shoes from their past, like the ones worn by Bo Jackson and John McEnroe. As soon as they said the word McEnroe – I was completely sold as the original Air Trainer 1, is one of my all time favorite shoe designs and something I remember wearing to school.

It started from there, asking me about favorite colors, and anything that I did or didn't like. The designers are just so good at taking input and making really slick creative choices, that when the line drawings come over, I'm just stunned. As you already know, we like to do things that haven't been done or are totally unique and that was one of the things that the guys at Nike knew that they wanted to do when they asked me what I liked.

Sony and Nike teamed up on highly sought-after Air Force One designs in 2006 and in 2009. Eagle said in those efforts, "we were working toward something with the other shoes. ... This being a "thank you" it could have been so many things – yet the guys at Nike got that it should be unique and it makes it very special to me because of that."

Doesn't sound like they'll hit eBay anytime soon. You can see more of the designs over at the link.

I can't friggin wait to lay about in my house wearing nothing more than a pair of LittleBigPlanet whitey-tighties under my silk God of War smoking jacket while I sip cognac and pass judgment on the gaming world.

IV Gear already has their list of games up, but no product pics yet.

So excited. List of companies and silly quotes on the jump.

Yes, the shirt may be the geekiest piece of apparel I've ever ordered, and no offense to the makers of the game or t-shirt, but I really wish that it were done without the Bioware or Mass Effect logos for a tad more subtlety/street cred. Still, fans who love the game as much as I do may enjoy this splurge purchase that only runs about $20 shipped.

Anyone who has ever dreamed of owning a Donkey Kong 3 or Mach Rider t-shirt can stop asking why God has forsaken them. They're both at the Torrel online store right now.

Will Wright's SO was wearing a Spore dress, to his recent keynote at SXSW. Made by EA Germany, apparently, in a very limited edition for very, very close friends, but as she said, wouldn't it be nice if they made some more for general retail?

What would be completely awesome would be if you could have your own Sporelets printed on your own dress/pants/knickers.

Customisation is the way forward, merchandise people. That way. Forward. Alice Taylor

Crecente's on the clothes tip, so I'm rummaging the usual Etsy supplies and jewellery stores. Must. Have. Pretty. Game. Things.

This gorgeous, frou-frou Magic The Gathering mana charm bracelet is my day's top find. Complete with swarovski crystals for clinkery +10, snap yours up here.

The ladies can finally join the ranks of proud wearers of such nerd classics as Green Linen Shirt, Player 1 and pwnstar.

Excellent.

J!nx New Ladies' Tees Set [J!nx]

Q*Bert! And his little friend, whatsisname! (Anyone?) Shot in Handycam and hand-made, you can get your pair over at Etsy. It's Valentine's Day soon, n'all..

These are quite sweet: two little Pac-Man-flavored bags, handmade in cherry fabric with a felt Pac chap and corduroy pills.
Now you can show your lurve for the little yellow guy by carrying him around with you everywhere...

Swank!

Possibly only available in Japan, I can't tell because I can't read Japanese. Maybe Brian A. can figure it out...

Ninja Special Move Tee [Syuriken.com]

Collect the set! Earrings (with jiggly eyes!), bracelet and necklace. Lovely. Cheap, too!

There are 685 designs returned from a "World of Warcraft" search on CafePress.com. This tee here one is one of the least terrible - there's "rich thorium vein" printed on a pair of boxers in there, fgs. Hey, now I've told you, I've spared you the pain of looking through it all, right?

Another one for the xmas list - for the chaps in your life anyway, there are no girl-shaped ones - this strikingly-coloured Nintendo theme tee.

If you count yourself amongst the folk who don't believe violence is the fault of videogames, this teeshirt is for you!

Related link of the day: violence could be linked to finger length in men, so if you're a chap with a handful of stubblies, we suggest meditation and lots of milk and honey.

Ahh, novelty clothing. Sk8r gear with built in headphones/gamepads/anti-grav packs. And now, built-in ARGing.

EDOC Apparel will soon be selling gear embedded with puzzles, pictograms and the like. Go to the site, find your particular widget or logo or drawing, and unravel the associated clue. "Every piece of gear is a trapdoor into a hidden world", they say. Ooh!

That's all we know right now. Nice site too, doesn't bode too terribly for the clothes...

Again on the retro tip (and in slightly old news, but they've updated the pictures), Fossil have released this Breakout-themed watch. While the game isn't actually playable (boo) it's at least a watch that's wearable by adults who go to work. Unless you have the sort of job that means you can get away with wearing a vintage pink Nintendo Super Mario Bros watch, at which point we're really impressed.
