Title: Mega-Sneaks Post by: preventerWIND on 30 March 2009, 20:03:57 PUMA has just released these little bad-boys; the 917 Lo Mega's, actually inspired by Mega Man. They're available in the classic Metalic blue and cyan, or black.
"A fantastic material and color update inspired by Mega Man, a video game first released by Capcom in 1987. Whether you're familiar with the character or not, this synthetic leather material looks and feels like vinyl, giving the upper a shiny, retro-futuristic look. The addition of the perforated underlays, painted eyelets, & video game inspired pixelated emboss on the toe bumper complete this awesome look." (http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/9017/megamaninspiredshoe.jpg) They're a good 65 bucks, which is a good price. I might actually snag a pair, just for the helluvit. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Johncarllos on 30 March 2009, 20:26:31 Ugly as hell.
I only have one favorite shoe. The Nike Free 7.0 running shoe. Currently no longer in production. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Mikero on 30 March 2009, 21:46:32 I really don't like the current main trend in kicks these days. These are no exception.
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: ASR on 30 March 2009, 22:00:52 Those are... odd.
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Abominator on 30 March 2009, 22:18:05 Ming.
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 30 March 2009, 22:26:57 The blue ones are too shiny to wear in public but if the black ones look nice I might check them out.
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Slugkid on 30 March 2009, 22:33:42 They do look sort of like Megaman, but they are pretty ugly.
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: preventerWIND on 30 March 2009, 22:45:55 You couldn't wear these in public without people assuming you're a circus act. The black ones look nice though, which I would probably wear.
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Chron on 31 March 2009, 00:21:36 I'm sure they don't make these in my shoe size anyway.
13EEE (US) is not easy to come by for junk like this. No big loss, though; they don't look comfortable and I bet they get pretty hot in warm weather. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Johncarllos on 31 March 2009, 01:50:28 I'm sure they don't make these in my shoe size anyway. WE HAVE THE SAME FEET. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Chron on 31 March 2009, 02:05:51 Well awesome I guess.
You could (not that I would advise it) wear my shoes, then. I shed manly tears for your shoe finding predicament, my brother at... ... uh... feet. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: ChaosVortex on 31 March 2009, 02:31:37 The fact that they are Mega Man based makes me want them a little but not enough to spend a dime on them.
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Johncarllos on 31 March 2009, 03:10:08 Well awesome I guess. Lookit these shoes. They are so comfortable. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Mikero on 31 March 2009, 03:25:42 Get a tan.
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Johncarllos on 31 March 2009, 03:49:19 I'm outside like 2-4 hours a day depending on how much bike I'm riding.
I'm getting easily over 6 hours of bicycle riding in each week. Also, the light is really white and my web cam stinks. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Mikero on 31 March 2009, 03:59:55 So get a tan.
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: ASR on 31 March 2009, 04:04:32 We can't ALL be exotic!
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Mikero on 31 March 2009, 04:07:58 Then get a tan.
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: ChaosVortex on 31 March 2009, 04:30:10 Actually, I just realized something.
What would make me want to buy these shoes is if they made the Mega Man "badip" noise whenever I jumped and landed (and specifically that, because hearing that when walking could be annoying). Although, that sounds dorkish. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: ASR on 31 March 2009, 04:32:20 That sounds so #####ing awesome that I don't care HOW annoying it gets.
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: ChaosVortex on 31 March 2009, 04:35:07 If it did that when walking/running however, and sounded like the ones from Mega Man Legends, I'd run EVERYWHERE.
I guess it does sound awesome if you could turn off the SFX. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Ikeoko on 31 March 2009, 04:59:56 I'd buy those shoes. I'll probably order them or something.
(not the ones chaos was talking about I mean the one in the pic) (although I like shoes that make noises/light up) Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Chron on 31 March 2009, 14:17:45 If it did that when walking/running however, and sounded like the ones from Mega Man Legends, I'd run EVERYWHERE. Hahaha, yes. And the PSHHHHHH noise made when it detects enough pressure for a jump. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 31 March 2009, 23:44:08 (http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/9017/megamaninspiredshoe.jpg) They look like chastity belts for your feet. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Snare on 1 April 2009, 00:52:05 Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Chron on 1 April 2009, 01:48:39 They look like chastity belts for your feet. ... have you ever even SEEN a chastity belt? Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: NovaMan XP on 1 April 2009, 02:32:28 Does... does it look like a belt?
You know... the one you put around your pants to keep them on? Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Chron on 1 April 2009, 02:37:54 We've all seen pictures of Sano.
I'm pretty sure his biology is not that alternative. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Fatso on 1 April 2009, 02:39:11 Pretty sure the idea behind the post was that anyone wearing those shoes is not getting any.They look like chastity belts for your feet.... have you ever even SEEN a chastity belt? Because apparently shoes dominate modern society. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Snare on 1 April 2009, 02:55:31 Leave Sano alone!
Mess with HIM and you're messing with ME. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Chron on 1 April 2009, 03:41:48 I eat flowers, Snare.
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: ASR on 1 April 2009, 03:42:57 So, at worst we're looking at a hug?
Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 1 April 2009, 03:44:50 Pretty sure the idea behind the post was that anyone wearing those shoes is not getting any. That's about the skinny of it. Because apparently shoes dominate modern society. Apparently you have never been subjected to all that hippity hop preachin' about how shoes are the most important thing ever. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Mikero on 1 April 2009, 04:39:19 Get a tan. GET LESS RACIST! Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Chron on 1 April 2009, 15:35:00 Apparently you have never been subjected to all that hippity hop preachin' about how shoes are the most important thing ever. Oh, I have. I just choose to believe those people are mentally... not all there. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Snare on 2 April 2009, 01:12:12 Get a tan. GET LESS PALLORIST :@ Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: Mikero on 2 April 2009, 03:09:31 Get a tan. GET LESS HILARIOUST! :Ø Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: orclev on 5 April 2009, 18:56:57 (http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/9017/megamaninspiredshoe.jpg) Well, I like the color! The style though, not so much. Title: Re: Mega-Sneaks Post by: TheOnly on 19 June 2009, 06:45:02 Then get a tan. By the time I read up to this point. I was rolling on the ground. XD |
