    Have you tried a Google image search? That's usually the way I roll.

    Damn it, now I remember having (I think) Jazz or Optimus shoes growing up. They had the sportflics style picture on the sides that changed from car to bot. I remember cutting those pictures out when I grew out of the shoes.

    Just to add, this site, TFMuseum, has info on tons of obscure merchandise, including shoes. I don't see these particular shoes on there, but from other things I've read, the owner of the site is pretty knowledgable and may have some info on them, even if he doesn't own them.

    I'll have to ask my brother since he's the one with the box but I don't recall the name of the brand. I'll try and ask over at tfmuseum for any info. Thanks for the link.

    I still have one of the two boxes from my childhood, but my shoes are long gone. In kindergarten and 1st grade, they were my yearlong kicks. I'm at least glad I still have one of the boxes. Hopefully, we'll find some photos of the actual shoes soon!

    Have you tried searching on Worthpoint? It's a site that documents past/completed Ebay auctions. I'd wager that in Ebay's history, somebody was bound to have sold a pair of G1 Mirage shoes at one point

    So far no luck. Off topic. How about Omega Supreme shoes? My brother and I can't find a pic of it either.

    I have that OS shoe box and I'm pretty sure that slippers came in it (which I also still have for some reason). I can post a pic of those if you want.
