    @WorldGreatest Waiting for Heavy Rain: I wasn't talking about the PS3 btw, I have one ;) I'm talking about all the people calling the shoes "Dope" "Intense" "Looking Fresh", the only time I hear that kind of stuff is from 12-Year old Wannabe Gangsters, Chavs, or Gangsters. And not only that, but they are all saying how the shoes look good, They do look fucking Terrible, But I guess they wern't made for us gamers...

    The shoes have really cool designs on them, but they still look like shit. I still don't see the need to spend hundreds of dollars on shoes you'll wear only a few times, if any, and then store for collector's purposes.

    @Showmeyomoves!: Okay... I was just about to post a huge rant about how I hate "gamer" clothes and how tacky it is when people try to show off the fact that they are a gamer.
    But man... If I could buy those shoes, I would wear them everyday...

    But make sure you wear the tiara backwards otherwise it means you're gay.

    @DouglasJayFalcon: Nice. That and the Princess Peaches are winners to me. If you're out there, Internet, know that you can sport visible video game themes and still look classy. I'm looking at you, Nike, or should I call you, "Let's find some $34.99 shoes in our clearance bins that have some red and gray on them and call them Nintendo Editions."

    Yep, I'd sport the Peaches and the Snakes, if I had them.

    I like the Mrs. Pac-Man slippers. I just cant justify spending that much on a pair of sneakers though. Because lets be honest, anything good in this category is expensive as sin. The only pair I would ever consider buying were the Phoenix Wright ones. The thought of kicking someone in the face with a shoe that says OBJECTION! like that is a joy I wish to experience one day.

    Also, there are WAY more articles under the Shoe tag then I ever knew about.

    I don't see many gaming-themed shoes that I'd consider wearable (as in not looking like a dork) and are clearly gaming-themed (not the lame overly subtle shoes that say they're gaming-themed but you'd guess otherwise). These shoes, though, I'd go on a journey to save the world in any day. Especially the Day of Lavos (<-- not a Final Fantasy reference, but close enough).
