Not sure where to post this but since its an item they plan to sell in the near future and someone here might actually want to buy it I'll put it here.

Once they end up at Marshalls for 10 bucks I might pick a pair up

So, they're releasing a shoe based on the control of a video game?? I don't recall being able to see the shoes in-game. lol

Well I'll be sure to buy a pair of size 14's when they come in cause these look sweet

I think thats cool that they were inspired by Atari's 720 game but i dont think i will be buying a pair of these unless they are super cheap.

[Gregory DG]

Why make a shoe like this now? It looks cool and all, but I doubt Nike is going to make a mint on these.

I might buy a pair if the price is right. I'm still bummed about missing out on the Adidas TRON shoes.

You never know they could become collectable. Nike has alot of collectors. My nike playstation AF1 shoes are worth over $1500 !!

I came across some pictures of Reebok Voltron shoes the other day. There's a set that comes with the Lions.

I just checked and the biggest size they made of the Tron shoes is a 10.5 So much for bigfoot's like myself getting any cool shoes, but then agian I've come acustom to this as most LE shoes are like this. I've had to special order shoes sense I was like 12 when I was in a size 13

Wow. Definitely got the colors right. Like it's been said. Could be a collectors nice little insurance policy later down the road.

I too am part sasquatch, sporting a pair of 13EEE gunboats. The TRON shoes would have strictly been for display purposes only.

 

Here's a shoe that Nike has made based on measurements of American Indians/Native Americans/Indigenous Peoples who have an average shoe width three width sizes larger than the standard Nike shoe, featuring a larger toe box, fewer seams for irritation, and a thicker sock liner for comfort.

I don't have any Indian ancestry, but I'm still thinking very seriously about getting a pair of these just from a fit and comfort perspective. Only $42.80 wholesale, so the markup shouldn't be too bad.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm gonna buy a couple pairs of those shoes for sure. Not often you get a pair of shoes with a big hoof in mind at R&D. So I assume a standard size 14 would be fine and I would not need to worry about the fact that my foot is close to 6 inches wide?

 

EDIT: I just read that the shoe is only for sale to registered native peoples. That is a crock of shit! Thats it, I'm goning bare foot!! (well, I do most the time by choice anyhow.)

I'm hoping that they will go on sale to the general public, and I wrote to Nike asking that they consider offering this shoe to regular folks after the initial run.

That sucks cause I could really use shoes like that ... my shoe size is 8.5 6E because of that I usually end up in sandals or hiking shoes/boots which are usually built wider.

 

as far as the original reason for the topic ... if i can squeeze my feet into them I'm a gonna get a pair.

Ahhhhhhh, poor Nike missing out on the cool skate shoe market, I won't be buying, they have taken over most of the sports markets and I hate that dominance
