Converse is currently running a big sale on its Dr. Seuss-themed Chuck Taylor collection. The vast majority of the shoes are available in kids sizes only, but they are discounted as much as 40%. Your kids will love them.
To check out all the deals, head on over to the Converse page and search for “seuss”.
After drooling over all the decoupage shoes on the internet (especially the Star Wars ones) for ages, I decided to figure out how to make my own. Because I love the animated series, I put the Clone Wars spin on them. It took several hours, but the process is very easy. I just decoupaged the images onto a cheap pair of black heels with Mod Podge and sealed everything with a glossy varnish. Tada!
These shoes were actually made during a nerd shoe craft party. Check out the other styles my friends and I put together here.
Holly Grothues created these ultra-nerdy hand-painted Star Wars heels which are available as a made-to-order design from her Etsy shop. Holly works with shoes of all varieties, including heels, Vans, Converse, etc and can create designs for anything from movies, anime and video games to general designs like stripes and polka dots. Personalization is also available.
Check out some additional photos of the Star Wars shoes after the break.
Alexandra Trim of bbee shoes painted these Calvin and Hobbes sneakers as a custom order for a lucky guy named Oliver. With designs like these, it’s no wonder her Etsy shop is down while she catches up on orders. When she’s back up an running in a few weeks, you might be able to commission a pair like these for yourself.
It’s the 15th anniversary of the manga and anime series, One Piece. To celebrate, they’ve rolled out lots of new merchandise running the gamut from footwear to hoodies to jewelry. Even if you’re not familiar with the franchise, the designs are still flashy and cool.
More products in the series are available after the break.
Artist Kara Setkiewicz has some R2-D2 TOMS in her Etsy store right now for anyone that’s interested in some hand-painted nerdy magnificence. Each shoe is custom made to order.

It looks like Wonder Woman and Killer Croc will be joining the club of heroes and villains to find their way onto footwear. Cad Bane Converse All Stars were spotted at WonderCon last week, and just like those, these new designs will be sold exclusively at Journeys. They hit the stores and web on April 2 (Wonder Woman) and April 9 (Killer Croc); supplies will be limited so if you want them, don’t hesitate. Though the shoes probably won’t give you superpowers (maybe you’ll get a radioactive pair though, who knows), they will make you extra stylish!
Check out close up photos and the Killer Croc shoes after the break.
Cushy sneaker soles make any fall better, especially long ones. Illustrator Jared Sellers has modified a pair of knee-high Converse sneakers into the most comfortable looking pair of Long Fall Boots I’ve seen. Granted, they might not have quite the same spring as Chell’s boots, but I bet they won’t give you blisters!

Jacob Patterson teamed up with Emmanuelabor to create these custom, one-off Fallout “Vault Dweller” Dunks which required over a year to complete:
The tongues feature jailbroken iPod Touches that have been given sounds, themes, apps, music, and related materials to fit the Fallout universe. Originally I had planned to sculpt or paint the tongues out to look like the actual Pip-Boy device, but it was too noisy. Instead, I trusted the Pip-Boy theme to do the job, and it does in a much more subtle way. On the sides are painted a soldier in Power Armor from Fallout 3 and a Ranger from New Vegas.
