Sunday, September 7, 2008 at 9:25PM I Dare You to Wear These Comic Book-Inspired Shoes
Remember Underoos? Perhaps I'm dating myself with that
reference, but Underoos were matching shirt and undwear combos that featured
superhero logos, and years later, included things like The A-Team and Knight
Rider. I think they may still make Underoos in some form, but that's not the
point.

Now, there are equally tacky superhero fashions for adults, and DC
Comics is leading the way. They've partnered with ACI International to make
Batman, The Joker, and Superman sneakers. You can pick them up starting
September 29th through
Limited Soles.
According to
RepCodes, these shoes are based on the Nike Air
Force One design, which I guess means that when you strap the Man of Steel to
your feet, you'll be as graceful as George W. Bush.
As you can see from the photos below, these have a little more of a concept than just slapping a logo onto shoe leather; there's some actual storyline on the sneakers. Each pair of shoes will be individually numbered - for
the sake of collectors, one assumes - and they'll come packaged in a comic
book-themed box.




Good luck matching those Superman shoes with, well, anything. These designs probably won't be around long; each brand is
only being produced in numbers that match the creation of the character. So that
means there will only be 1,938 pair of Superman shoes, 1,939 pair of Batman
shoes, and 1,940 pair of Joker shoes.
Admittedly, it would have been hot to roll up into the
midnight screening of
The Dark Knight
in your bad-ass Joker sneaks, but maybe you can throw 'em on when you have your
DVD release party.
