PUMA Shoe Design Inspired by Mega Man

This has to be one of the coolest news stories in a long, long time. PUMA apparel are gearing up to release a brand new sneaker with a design inspired by the Mega Man franchise, the 917 Lo Mega

"A fantastic material and color update inspired by Mega Man, a video game first released by Capcom in 1987. Whether you're familiar with the character or not, this synthetic leather material looks and feels like vinyl, giving the upper a shiny, retro-futuristic look. The addition of the perforated underlays, painted eyelets, & video game inspired pixelated emboss on the toe bumper complete this awesome look."

You can order the 917 Lo Mega! here in blue and black format.

Megaman shoes that aren't cheesy. (Ones that don't have his face on the side.) That is pimp-awesome.
