@peAr_nectAr:

for the wiiware i think

I'd rather have those Smash Bros. shoes that were posted on here a week or so ago, to be honest.

And what's up with these Tetris-inspired knick-knacks lately? First ugly shelving units, now ugly shoes. What next? Doilies? Power washers? Mail-order brides? I guess it could be anything except for a new Tetris game.

(Um, there isn't a new Tetris game in the works, is there?)

peAr_nectAr

Why is it that every single video game themed pair of shoes is so god damn ugly?

TOWER_JUNKIE

I literally had to squint to look at them for more than 2 seconds.

Where can I preorder them?

@Cogito: there are very tiny tetris pieces floating around on the shoe

on a side note, i have a picture of me when i was like, 5 or 6, in the exact same color scheme as the first pair. sadly, it was always right on the wall at my parents house so any girlfriends i would bring over would se it right away. i am fairly sure it was their way of ensuring they didn't become grandparents while i was in highschool

I don't understand the obsession with sneakers...
When I was younger, I got the impression that the only gender concerned about buying shoes were women. The stereotype I learned from tv was that they were concerned more about buying shoes and clothing that they pretty much wasted their cash on it. Now it applies to men...

But I have to say, those shoes be pimpin'!

Angryrider

eeeeeep!

they look like something the ice cream dude would use

greygecko

Is the "tetris theme" the horrible colors? I fail to see how these are tetris-related...or maybe I'm just blind.

Way to go Puma, make me squint at ugly shoes for twenty minutes.

Cogito

What is with the raping of tetris of late?

Master Saji

God damnit I hate purple.

If they didn't have purple I the second pair would've been an instant buy. Now I actually have to think about it.

Anyhow, yeah, I don't have any friends so I can wear these shoes without problems :D

What's with the plastic straps that rap around the shoes? Are they afraid they need them to keep the shoe from falling apart when the pieces of Tetris make a complete row?

Disc Blaze? So those Puma sneakers don't actually shoot disc, like the Super Disc Shooter from ye olde times of yore? If they did, I'd get right on it irregardless of the fact that they're Fresh Prince themed Tetris looking sneakers.

Trowble (XBL/PSN)

dear god could those things be more Hoxton twunt?

Brutalitarian

Very ugly. Honestly, I have no clue how these shoes can be interested as "Tetris themed." Fresh Prince themed? That I can see!

Shoes, huh? I've spent a total about 200 dollars on shoes in the past 5 years.

Strange Bedfellows

My eyes. Holy shit. I'm not sure who these shoes are appealing to, if anyone at all. Was making the most horrible color scheme part of the design?

Seven Is Darker

Holy hideous hell. They look like geriatric shoes for the colorblind.

I had a hard time figuring out which part of these shoes was the Tetris part.

Tetris? Where's the tetris in that abortion of nature?
I mean, c'mon, I loved my puma disc some 10 years ago... but this is ridiculous.

I love 'em. If ya ask me, people should dress like that more.

Jesus christ those are some ugly kicks. Those elastic top type shoes are really comfortable I used to have some Nikes like that.

t0yrobo

The one thing I gleaned from this article:

We need more Fresh Price references on Kotaku. Plunkett, you will now be referred to only as Geoffrey. Or Hilary. Your choice.

MrAkash

this thread is mad win. seriously, how many times can we get the Fresh Prince theme on here?

oh and the shoes are ugly

DataScream

FUCKING HELL I WANT THESE. I just have a thing for awful clothes.

Bernard McGraw

Isn't anyone going to note the SECRET MIDDLE VERSE to the Fresh Prince themetune?

Bernard McGraw

Worst. Color scheme. Ever. My brothers are color blind (for real) and they could make something better than this mess. Throwing those Tetris blocks on there is just downright insulting.

Those look like they'd just blend right in.

So Tetris shelves are cool, but shoes aren't?

should have been an "are" in there and a comma.

Rockwallaby

The Disc Blaze is a classic not a colour way I would wear but heaps of people loving the bright colours at the moment.

Rockwallaby

Tetris shoes? I don't remember Tetris ever having anything to do with technicolor vomit.

Bowser-Gaiden

I can't really imagine a guy wearing these. I would maybe wear the ones on the right, but that orange is just a tad to much. Plus I only wear flipflops, so that could be a problem.

Perky Peanut

Pair on left reminds me of Perfect Cell. =p

I can picture 'Tiffany" wearing the shoes on the left with leg warmers, singing "I Think We're Alone Now" while dancing around like a 'tard.

!!!WTF!!! (* *)

Perhaps in America these shoes look weird, but here in New Zealand, they would look pretty common. I think the Aussies would wear them too, and a certain swathe of the UK youth market.

Kotaku commenting geeks are not the sort of people I trust for fashion tips.

Yeah, that's pretty much my anthem for my early nineties memories.. and this is the style to match.

I expect 1 in 20 hipsters in brooklyn to be wearing these by tuesday. More than that and it wouldn't be hip anymore. Any later than tuesday, it'd be old news...

...And thus the Fresh Prince revival will come and go before Jazzy Jeff can get a slice...at which point he will once more be thrown out of the Banks' household by Uncle Phil.

I will be getting these in my store, they drop in april, it's a classic shoe, most sneaker fiends will hate the colourway but like Lewisham said there is another bunch of people that love this type of thing.

Rockwallaby

Look... If i took a huge crap and put a tetris block on it, would you post a story about it. Let me know. I got TONS of the stuff. And it's cheaper than these "groovy" shoes.

Talk about murdering the term "Tetris Theme" here... The colours they used is exactly what I'm trying to forget about the 90s ;_;
