Street Fighter meet Chuck Taylor. Maya Pixelskaya takes mundane shoes to complete and fantastic nerdom with this paint job. One shoe features Chun Li, and the other displays Ryu. It takes the dedication of a geek to hand-paint shoes with this level of detail.

Over the last couple of months we have delivered news out of Japan regarding a series of Converse Chucks celebrating the 25th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Bros. As you might expect, they have proven to be quite popular—but getting your hands on a pair in the US seemed unlikely.
However, the good news is that JBox is now taking pre-orders for the first two black and white pairs. Granted, they aren’t cheap at $130, but we are willing to bet that there are quite a few people out there willing to pay a little extra for these. Hopefully, the other two pairs will available for pre-order down the line as well.

Last month we featured the new line of DC Comics superhero-themed Chucks featuring Superman, Batman, The Flash and Green Lantern. For the ladies out there, we now present the Catwoman lo-top versions.
There is also Wonder Woman hi and los pictured after the break that were released earlier this year, though they might be tougher to find.
Back in April, we revealed the first two Chuck Taylors Converse Japan has planned as a tribute to the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. However, it seems that they had more up their sleeve.
The latest versions feature graphics lifted right from the game. Check out the Bowser’s Castle version (along with additional pics) after the break.
Journeys has three new Converse Chucks coming out in June with Green Lantern, Flash, Superman and Batman themes. Check out the complete collection after the break, though we think that the Flash version is particularly badass. It would look as though I was running like the wind even when I’m sitting down drinking a beer.
The Chuck Taylor sneakers Converse Japan is putting out for Super Mario Bros’ 25th anniversary are cool enough, but check this packaging!
Too bad Chuck Taylor’s make my feet look huger than they already are. Also, I don’t live in Japan.

Unfortunately, the Death Stars shoe line never took off because they kept exploding and blowing people’s feet off. The good news is that you can still save the shirt by voting it up for printing on Qwertee.

The cat may have a hat but he also has some sweet matching shoes for, uh, kicking ass in Mortal Kombat?
