If You Were in Mario’s Shoes…

You know what they say: the shoes make the man. Hence, in the same way: the Mario Shoes make the Mario Fan.

Well, it’s not totally unheard of that fashion statements are born out of video game fandoms. And fashion is just one side of it. Video game merchandise is also a prolific industry, from Final Fantasy toys to Pokemon plush dolls. Accessories can also be based on video game themes, from a Super Mario Galaxy mobile phone cover to a Halo faceplate for your 360. But whether it be fashion, merchandise, or accessory, there is a sense of wonder that makes you think, “Man, why didn’t I think of that?”

Now consider this: what if someone made Super Metroid Wellington boots? Or how about Lara Croft clip-on ponytails? Earthworm Jim spacesuit, anyone?

You got to hand it to the creativity and artistry of these fans. Very impressive!
