Nintendo Entertainment Shoes
Nike is releasing these NES-inspired Air Maxes at some point in the future to unknown retailers, so chances are you’ll never even see them, let alone get a chance to buy them. Still, I wanted to taunt you with them, especially since they have a little “start button” next to the tongue (yep, “select” is on the other shoe). Of course, it would be kind of annoying to have to blow on them every time before you put them on. (Via IGN)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
