The ultimate turbo grafx gaming shoes! (Sold Out)
« on: November 09, 2007, 10:30:56 PM »





Back in '91 I was living to the extreme with these shoes, but then my gargantuan feet grew out of them, a couple years back they decided to re-release them, but I found out too late and so all I have is a picture of the ultimate shoes to play Turbo Grafx games with. Maybe someday I can track these down in a size 11, but for now its just not the same with the higher energy video game system.




Damn...

Those were awesome! I had the exact pair in the pictures, but look what I found, this is more "PC Engine" shoes than Turbo Grafx:

I had a pair of Reebok Pumps in elementary school :D
I would seriously rock a pair of those if they bring them back again.

Ahh, those take me back.  I had a pair (erm, of Reebok Pumps...) back in 1990.  Vanilla Ice was cool for like 2 weeks, then Snap's The Power rode out the year in style!

That's the thing, They DID in fact bring back a whole bunch from the pump line sometime in 2005, but somehow I did not learn about it until much later, I have no idea what the hell I was doing when I missed that news, probably women are to blame I am sure.  But now I don't know what the hell I should do, those glow in the dark mike chang editions are still availible, but they are 200 dollars plus shipping from japan.  I was more into the basketball ones than the tennis ones, but even the tennis ones are awesome.

A guy from work brought in a pair last week. I think he just has them lying around.  :? They're pretty sweet. But the PC Engine sneaks are saaaaweeeet.  I want a pair.

Who the hell wears shoes to play videogames? First thing I do when I got in the house, then and now, is take my shoes off. (we should have an icon for stinky feet.  :mrgreen: )

Vanilla Ice was never cool. In fact, he made the world a little less cool by making a public fool of himself. Perhaps he made America not cool enough for the Turbografx.  :evil:

Guyjin perhaps you should take a step back, re-evaluate your life and ask yourself "Could I be living each day more radical and to the extreme??" When you discover the answer is an indisputable "No", Perhaps then you will learn to appreciate pumping up the 1991 reebok blacktops and playing bonk's revenge.. after that.. you will reach the level of becoming radical, the next level is of course bumping vanilla ice on your cerwin vegas, and then my friend, you will be living radical AND to the extreme.


Good luck, and may god have mercy on your soul.

Oh man, those shoes are awesome. I'd totally love to wear those while playing some Turbo Grafx 16 with the dude that's on the box. We'd be having a helluva time.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).
