Stride Rite has released some ultra cool shoe designs inspired by the Star Wars universe. They light up and feature Light and Dark side themes. From the press release:
“Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace will be released in 3D on February 10th, and Stride Rite is ready for the occasion. Watch the battle between good and evil unfold on your feet with the dueling light saber sneaker, or bring out the inner Star Wars fanatic in your baby with the Robeez Yoda. This collection features fun designs featuring Darth Maul, Captain Rex and other favorites, extending the fantasy with lights and light sabers! Built with Stride Rite fit, quality and innovation, these shoes are perfect to superpower any Jedi in training.”
The sad part? They’re only available for toddlers and children.

Sometimes you just want to walk barefoot through the grass without worrying about stepping on something that’s poisonous or requires a tetanus shot. So what the hell do you do? Buy some grass flip flops and take a mini lawn with you wherever you go.
Although this looks like real grass, it is actually a synthetic material known as Syn-Turf which will save you from grass stains and trimming duties, although it will need to be fluffed every now and then. This concept isn’t anything new, but unlike previous designs, Kusa’s flip flops are actually available to buy in small, medium and large sizes for about $31.

Shoes aren’t the normal fare at MegaHobby EXPO, but these tennis shoes are special. Reebok has made just 500 pairs of of these sneakers with a tachikoma-inspired design from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Since the availability is so limited, shoes like this are meant to be collected, not worn—and the price will probably match that status. No word yet on when they’ll be released or how much they’ll cost.

What could be more satisfying than sliding your feet into some warm slippers? Not much, and I can’t think of anything that would be warmer than a steaming pile of poo. These are not really steaming or a pile, but they certainly are poo. And of all the poo in the world, Mr. Hanky has more personality than the average lump.

I can understand the plight of a left handed individual in a right handed world. So them not wanting to even acknowledge the word right seems reasonable. I am not sure calling the non-left sock wrong is the correct way to address the issue, though.

Stick your pasty white legs into these socks and they will complete the look of a very long banana that is partially peeled. As a bonus, you can always blame the banana going bad for that funky smell.

If your requirements for slippers include a stogie and sunglasses, Cigarman is an excellent choice. It may be your only choice.

Instead of just walking on the beach and checking out girls, you can encourage others to share your religious beliefs. It may be obnoxious to some, but a couple miles worth of “Jesus Loves You” stamped in the sand is probably about the best you are going to do in terms of proselytizing. And who knows, maybe one of those cute girls will take an interest.

So you meant to say that girl reminded you of something beautiful, and somehow your mother’s name got tangled up in that sentence? That, my friend, would be a classical Freudian slip. And if you are going to make stupid comments, you may as well warn them by wearing a pair of Freudian Slippers. Definitely comfortable, and maybe they will help you get yourself out of a self-created jam.
