Rock these Space Invaders sneakers

by Christopher Grant { Apr 25th 2006 at 3:00AM }

These are the Steve Madden Joggers, a sneaker with a "unique design exclusive to Steve Madden." Of course by unique to Steve Madden, they mean unique to Steve Madden and classic arcade title, Space Invaders...and everything else that features the ubiquitous, pattern-loving invaders.

"Drop down! Increase Speed! Reverse Direction!"

If you grab a pair of these and that Asteroids-themed Burton jacket, you'd be ~~a huge nerd~~ all set for E3.

I think the Futurama reference made the post.

I think $69.95 for a pair of sneakers is insane. With or without Space Invaders on them.

$70 bucks too much for fashion, yet some people won't hesitate to drop many times more for gaming...

These space invader sneakers are way nicer and come from a fun street artist. I have a pair of the black ones and they are super comfortable.

This is b.s. ripoff of the invaders shoes done by the French artist, which furthermore allow you to tag the street with Invaders everywhere you walk.

$70 is CHEAPPPP!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!! My ears are buring when you say it's to expensive. People notice your shoes first. And if your a gamer I'd think these make a cool statement.

At first I thought "cool!," then I saw that the larget size they have is 10". I wear 11 1/2". Damn them!

Why do people notice what shoes you're wearing? The only time I EVER notice someone's shoes is when I'm in the restroom, sitting there wondering who those shoes in the next stall belong to. So I KNOW I never notice them any other time. I'm damned tall, too, so I have more reason to look down when talking to people.

I call shenanigans.

And those are some ugly-ass shoes.
