These have nothing to do with Sega, or Sonic, or anything, they are 'original' designs from Nike. However since Sega has never made an actual Sonic shoe, this is pretty close, all you need to add is a buckle.

Price? $120, so if they come to the UK expect to pay around ten thousand billion quid.

I am not entirely sure how I feel about these shoes. I'll have to look at them in person but from the image they don't look that hot. They don't look worth $110... but then again neither do some of the J's but people pay hundreds for those.

A rough guess from my view if they do come to the UK would be around £75.00 for a pair. Still, they look amazing.

Perhaps Nike felt inspiration from Michael Jackson and Santa Claus too.

But yeah, these shoes are unmistakably Sonic.

Might be worth the price of admission if they doubled as Soap Shoes, injury risks be damned. Can you imagine how many people would wear those at a Sonic convention?

Since these are for Super Bowl (with a special Super Bowl design on the way), I'd laugh if the SB ad for these things involved Sonic (and if that was the thing 'some folks would be interested in' Aaron hinted at).

 

...holy hell, I'm making insanely stupid theories! I'm finally a real Sonic fan!

You know, I always wanted something like this when I was younger. Looking at it for real now..it's not really everything I hoped it would be. Plus, it's way more expensive.

New Nikes are usually around that price-higher, so I'm not too worked up about the price. Though they look pretty ugly imo, so I wouldn't buy them lol

Admittedly, if these were released when I was a teenager, I could totally see myself getting a pair. But yeah, that price...

Also, one of the reviews that was posted for this is the best thing that I've read all day.

Sounds like something out of the official Sonic twitter.

I don't know about anyone else, but I do believe I'll keep count at the next Sonic Boom to see just how many of these there are...

I can already anticipate their being modified for "Sonic the Human" cosplays.

Ever since 10th grade I've usually had red and white sonic like shoes. It started off just being a fucking nerd but you'd be surprised how many people just say "oh cool shoes" instead of "are those sonic the hedgehog shoes?!" 110 bucks is pretty steep, but I realistically wouldn't mind having these, I think they're fucking cool haha. Used to have these, and the second shoe is the one I currently have lawl

*sits and waits patiently for a pair of infamous lego boots to go on sale...* 

  That is pretty awesome though! They look pretty sweet but would look more complete  with the yellow buckle :)

Do you have any friends in the US?? You could Paypal them the money, they could order the shoes and then send them to you.
