If you’ve been following Fashionably Geek, you would know that Converse has been offering some great options for DC Comics fans in their Chuck Taylor All Star line. These fabulous Wonder Woman sneakers come to mind. Now they’ve launched a campaign that allows you to design your own Chuck Taylor DC Comics shoes. Well, mostly.
You can choose from certain customizable parameters to make the shoes uniquely you. The only catch is that as of right now, the designs only include characters from the Batman universe. There are Batman, The Joker, Catwoman, and The Riddler design elements. Those are fantastic choices, but I hope it opens up to include more heroes and villains sometime soon. You can combine available prints featuring the Bat characters with canvas color, emblems, lining, personalized heel strips, and more. The version above was created recently by Comics Alliance and serves as an example of what’s possible.

I will never get enough of custom painted nerdy shoes, and these tennis shoes from ‘Shoes by Lady’ are particularly wonderful. The TARDIS design is my favorite of the bunch mostly because I love the addition of the suit and bowtie on the tongue of the shoe. It’s a perfect touch.
Her other styles include Pikachu, R2-D2, and Spider-Man. The shoes come in a wide variety of sizes and are custom painted when you order them. Contact the seller to find out the lead time before you order.
