Own a Pair of Sonic Shoes

Super Sonic Speed not Guaranteed
EBay has been a treasure trove of Sonic memorbilia over the years. Anything from old comics to plushies to rare music CDs have been found on the electronic marketplace, ready for fans to bid or buy.
So, it was inevitable that we find this entry, advertising a custom job on a pair of shoes in Sonic style. From the image here, it seems they’ve got the design right on track. The seller claims it to be Sonic Adventure 2 inspired, and removable wheels are available, as well as…grind plates. That’s right–you too can live the dream of grinding like Sonic anywhere and everywhere.
The catch? The shoes take two weeks to make, and at the bare minimum, they come in at a $100 bid…or you can “Buy it Now” for $150, with $12 shipping costs. Is it worth it? If they help you run…maybe.

Those are some of the ugliest looking shoes I’ve ever seen.
The pink really kills them. If they were all-red, they’d look decent.
I’d buy some real looking Sonic shoes, but not those.
I was sort of hoping that there’d be a pair of those old red and white Scorchers up for auction…oh well, it looks like a lot of work’s gone into this (even if they don’t really look like Sonic’s shoes). Good luck for the guy selling them!
A belt buckle? are they serious? Those shoes are really ugly, but I have always wondered why, when they make usable Sonic merchandise (like snow boards and shoes), they just slap Sonic on it and call it good, rather than making it look like whatever he used in the game. It would be cool to have like a pair of poofy slippers that look like Sonic’s shoes.
those arent sonic shoes theyre shit!!
