Metal Gear Solid "inspired" sneakers
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 ...

Yes indeed, I dont get it either...but the shoes kinda look nice
Johnny @ Mar 14th 2008 11:37PM
they should have made t-shirts.
BlaqueBeird @ Mar 15th 2008 5:58AM
What they should make is t-shirts with the shoe on it.
Roto13 @ Mar 14th 2008 11:51PM
They don't have anything Metal Gear Solid related on them. Hell, they don't even use Metal Gear Solid-ish colours. I couldn't even see a Metal Gear Solid character wearing them. >_>

Gimmick? COULDN'T BE!
milestailsprowe @ Mar 15th 2008 12:26AM

A HUGE HYPEEBEAST

A Hypebeast? No. A memeber of ISSforums.com? Yes.

Ironically, I just sended a tip to Joiystiq about something along this lines
YoRone22 @ Mar 15th 2008 2:12AM

Well forgive me for making a mistake, not everyone is as perfect as you, wiseass.

Wait, I'm not sure but didn't otacon(hal) wear a similar sneaker in MGS1? it didn't have that blue color though.
Deck @ Mar 15th 2008 12:41AM
I don't see much MGS in those sneaks... but then again they are so damn ugly that there is no way i'd ever wear 'em :-p
Shawn @ Mar 15th 2008 12:44AM
An indispensible part of anyone's official sneaking suit
David @ Mar 15th 2008 12:46AM
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.
rokerovakero @ Mar 15th 2008 1:36AM
yeah they come in a box. that's the tie in.
AndrewNeo @ Mar 15th 2008 12:50AM
Nono, you guys have it all wrong. The Metal Gear is supposed to wear them!

Don't care about the shoes... But just wanted to say there's a Metal Gear Awesome 2... Came out February 23rd... How did I completely miss that? :(
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Mar 15th 2008 1:44AM
same here. I just saw it like a week ago. It was funny, but not even as close as funny to the original.
rokerovakero @ Mar 15th 2008 1:35AM
man those shoes look like shit. Were they even trying?
I understand the retro thing but those look like my grandma's.
kevolution @ Mar 15th 2008 2:07AM
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.

Sadly enough, I wouldn't buy Metal Gear themed sneakers, but I would buy a Metal Gear themed cardboard box.
Spin44 @ Mar 15th 2008 5:32AM
doesnt get any nerdier than this
willie @ Mar 15th 2008 8:51AM
i can't see the metal gear-ness on these.
Kira @ Mar 15th 2008 9:47AM
Maybe they help with the sneaking and the neck snapping and the groin groping.
Autopsy15 @ Mar 15th 2008 10:28AM
Well, at least they aren't as un-wearable as the Halo sneakers.
Scarfall @ Mar 15th 2008 10:37AM
It's called marketing stunt.
dangerballs @ Mar 15th 2008 5:00PM
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.
xmattx315 @ Mar 21st 2008 12:14AM
I dont see the mgs resemblence but, i think they're cool looking anyway.
Where can I buy them?
hvnlysoldr @ Mar 30th 2008 3:22PM
Needs to be more awesome.
minimoose @ Apr 1st 2008 10:21AM
it is related to the MPO franchise with the philosiphers legacy. it has the word legacy on it but other than that yeah nuthin
