THESE SHOES WERE MADE FOR FLYING WHALES

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 at 11:00am by Axl Rosenberg

MS Maniac Tim-o-tato has brought to our attention that the almighty Gojira are the latest band to produce a pair of kicks. Check it out:

gojira sneakersI like ‘em. They’re simple. Tasteful, even – people might not really realize that you’re wearing sneakers emblazoned with the logo of one of the best metal bands in the world today (I can practically hear my mom asking “There’s a shoe company called Gojira?”).

Unfortunately, they’re stupid expensive – 95 euros, which is about $141 U.S. (and that’s not including shipping). Sheesh.

Hey, Vince – so about that Hanukkah present…

    It’s a nice pair of shoes but I’d never wear something like that… I’d buy the standard Globe model instead, saving a lot of money…

  4. Tim-o-tato says:

    Shit, I need these…seriously lol
    Time to start saving up…except I would be too afraid to wear them :-(

  5. i wonder if they make em in size 14s
    if they dont i want some like this guy http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/21450451/Behemoth+_II.jpg

    So when are the Municipal Waste white Hi-Tops coming out? Or the Lars Ulrich sandals?

    • Mark Gavin says:

      I’m waiting for the James Hetfield plaid shorts.

    • Scott says:

      Seriously, that would be cool if more of the old school thrash bands released some of the old, fat tongued high tops. Can’t say that you’d catch me in the skin tight pants that they used to wear, like the new scener tards do now-a-days.

      These shoes, aside from having Gojira’s logo on them are pretty fuckin ugly.

    Boots sell… with wool lining

    Those look about the quality of the short-lived Starbury shoes – $15 shoes that wore like $15 shoes.

    • R. Joseph Smith says:

      Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha!!!!!! You bought some damn Starbury’s!!! ahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahaaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. Noel says:

    wtf is this? why the hell would anyone want to pay close to 200 bucks for skater shoes with a tiny gojira label on them? Im a big gojira fan, but for fuck sake, leave these kind of products where they belong-on the shelves of hot topic, with a big pink stitching of MCR on the side. dont turn metal into a fashion statement, AXL!!!!!!!!!!!! [madface]

    gojira shoes— from china to sirius. (and way, way overpriced at that.)

  11. DICKHOLE says:

    lame what next meshuggah underwear? i dont get it man what the fuck when did bands want to start doing this its like every band wants to be like kiss or the fucking misfits putting their fucking name all over stupid shit my god if you buy a pair of these shoes you should let sum do put his dick in your but too!!!!

  12. mike says:

    I’m more interested in TWOAF album in the middle – is that some sort of special edition of the album or something?

    • Shinaain says:

      No, I don’t think so. I think that’s just the shoe box they’re sold in. (Notice the sole inserts, too?) I could, of course, be wrong…

  13. RyanR101 says:

    Man, those are terrible could have put more thought into the design.

  14. phale says:
