Wait, we've got that backwards. Regardless, it seems like a totally obvious product tie-in. Solid Snake sneaks silently in a sneaking suit, so MGS "inspired" sneakers are certain to be solid seller. But seriously, we don't get it ...

What they should make is t-shirts with the shoe on it.

The only reason those sneakers are Metal Gear Solid "related" is the fact that you have to hide those shoes in a cardboard box so no one can ever see them.

Are you guys serious?
Legacy sounds familiar I think they made those ugly ass mario shoes from Run athletics or phat farm. Anyways I love joystiq and sneakers but I will tell you two things.
1.) those are janky as hell and have nothing to do with MGS
2.) Joystiq, your better than that. Cmon.

same here. I just saw it like a week ago. It was funny, but not even as close as funny to the original.

Sadly enough, I wouldn't buy Metal Gear themed sneakers, but I would buy a Metal Gear themed cardboard box.

Jeebus...
As a serious skateboarder (and Metal Gear fan) who routinely drops $125+ on quality shoes, this dreck makes me want to vomit all over myself. Three cheers for 2-bit companies gloming onto the popularity of completely unrelated things.

Only thing I can think of them being related to mgs is that if you wore those to school you'd have to sneak around from class to class as to not get your @ss beat.
