THESE SHOES WERE MADE FOR FLYING WHALES

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

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…

    Haha, I bet Vinny Vin Vin wants these.

  • Zoker

    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…

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

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

      I’m waiting for the James Hetfield plaid shorts.

      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.

    Dave Mustaine Ugg boots

    • Insomnivore

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

    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]

    • DICKHOLE

      too late man metal has been fashionable for quite sometime now!!!!!!

  • dot

      “from china to sirius”

  • DICKHOLE

      I would proudly don Meshuggah underpants.

      • http://www.jacksonguitars.com Tim-o-tato

        Except they would probably be $50….lol

        • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Gavin/1396340262 Mark Gavin

          I’m okay with that.

  • mike

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

    • Shinaain

      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…

  • RyanR101

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

  • phale

    if i want to be ‘simple’ and ‘tasteful’ i wont go shopping on a metal site. these look like shoes a french person would wear.
