way to put your foot in mouth

 

It would cool if I were also a sneakerhead too then I snatch these up, but I’m not, so it’s a pass

 

Those shoes would be great for night runs. I have light up arm bands and a vest because drunkndrivers running over pedestrians is not uncommon here in Arizona. If these shoes can provide added visibility, that's great!

 

I agree that they\'re pretty generic. And, why is the Decepticon symbol red instead of purple?

 

I enjoy Transformers for the fun of a transformable toy robot and (occasionally) the stories built around them. But TF-themed shoes? I’ll pass, though I’m legitimately in need of new running shoes. I don’t think I would even wear a TF t-shirt.

 

These look so much better than the last sneaker drop. I would actually maybe get the Optimus ones. If they looked good in person. Maybe. Probably not.

 

didn\'t they already make shoe optimus and megatron?
 

 

Yes, Takara made them in the Sports Label subline. The main difference was that those toys transformed.

 

Wow sneakers you should not wear or can't and mostly likely replace the soles with Dr. Scholls; if your planning on running with them.



Who am I kidding we ain't running.

 

These are..... Interesting.

 

I might get because I\'m a dork but what foam cushioning does it use? Boost or bounce?

 

You'd want to replace the soles anyway, if you chose to wear them. Otherwise, Optimus/Megatron will cease to have a face.

Besides that, these are Adidas, which means they won't fit my feet anyhow. For whatever reason, NIKE seems to be the only company who manages to make shoes that typically are wider in the front and skinnier in the heel. Everyone else makes shoes either too narrow in the front or too wide in the heel...

 

So do we have an idea of when we can expect these in the US?

 

I like the megs but why red hits instead of purple? even the con emblem is red, isnt that shattered glass or some shit?

purple leds and accents would have made the megs perfect.

 

Personally I like Sketchers it like walking with clouds on.

 

That's great if it fits your feet. Not so great if your heel keeps flying out the back.

 

He seems to be checking his wristwatch.

That was my thinking, the Optimus ones especially don't look like clever modern shoes with a hint of Transformers, they look like kids shoes so when they run off in the mall you can see their flashing shoes in the crowd. The Megatron ones look decent outside, but you have to look at that silly image on the insole every time you put them on until it wears off.

 

Huh? I am into shoes, although I don't consider myself a sneaker head. That hobby/lifestyle is HUGE and has way more people into it then the few people that follow/buy transformers. Some of the most sought after shoes look downright terrible. These, while not my style definitely are more respectable then many sneakers I see grown adults wearing.

But as somebody else put it, we are all on a Transformers site that deals with kids toys. The real world probably wouldn't consider us a respectable adult but hey, that's ok

 

Actually a more normal product than that time Optimus and Megatron actually transformed into shoes.

 

Taking the hollowness of transformers to a whole new level.
