Sneakers are something we wear. We put them on our feet. We think they are cool. According to Mr. Gump's mom, you can tell a lot about a person by their footwear. She died. I want my shoes to fucking light up and distract the shit out of everyone.
So these kicks were made for the movie 'Step Up 3D', by [ creative recreation ]. Now, I just have to convince [ bodega in boston ] to order me a pair of these suckers.

Show your comic book love on your feet. Press on soldier...
