Gaming fans will do ANYTHING to show loyalty to their choice console! Check out the X Box themed shoes.
Desite economy issues and the recession these bad boys came out with a $2,500 price tag for the exclusive sneakers.
The custom kicks (which by the way are not endorsed by neither Microsoft or Nike) were custom handmade by a California-based artist who specializes in customized sneakers named Sole Junkie. The artist reports that these aren’t even the most expensive shoes he’s made.
“I have made shoes with 22k gold and diamonds on them,” he told us in an interview. “I look at my creations as functional art…not just ordinary sneakers.”
According to Sole Junkie’s eBay auction, “These are an exclusive pair…only one of its kind. Patent leather back with embedded fiber optic wiring in the shape of the XBOX logo. Battery placement is in the tongue as well as on and off switch that has 2 settings: Strobe or Constant light functions. Gradient lime swoosh faded to black. The toe is painted in a surreal Tiger Camouflage with accents of lime and bright green. These are a men’s size 11.”
AND THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR IS:
-Did the shoes sales??
Answer:
HELL YEAH!
Actually the Ebay auction went above and beyond what was expected. The leather and fiber optic wiring designed “Nike Xbox-Alpha-Dunks” sold to a bidder who paid $4000 for them.. Geez bruh, you can’t play games on them, and they aren’t even related to Microsoft or Xbox. If you ask me this was an “interesting” purchase to say the least. I wonder if the buyer plans to actually wear them. Shit for $4000 I’d want to be able to drive em.
