Among other things, social networks inspire sharing, over-sharing, change, and shoe designs. Designer Lumen Bigott uses social media and ended up incorporating sites like Twitter, Flickr, You Tube, and more into fashionable Keds.

I’m a big fan of inspiration blogs, I also spend a lot of time in social networks and I love fashion: those three things are responsible of this shoes collection. The idea was to find the most important graphic elements of my favorite social networks and apply them to my favorite pair of shoes trying to keeping alive the essence of each brand.

Supposedly, these are conceptual designs of Twitter and Facebook shoes by Gerry Mckay for Adidas. But I believe (I hope) this is the internet’s way trolling me and that these will never come to be.
It’s no secret that I’m a social media addict and that I loves me some Twitter, but wearing a pair of “Twitter Superstars” just strikes me as “social media branding” run amok.
Am I crazy, or are these really a step too far? Check out the Twitter version after the break.

Fashionably Geek reader Jordan sent us this pic of a Star Wars shirt she received after randomly tweeting one day that she would like a shirt that said “F*ck Yes. Star Wars.” Not long after, an artist named Nate Carle made it so.
So there you have it. Ask and you shall receive—that’s the power of twitter. Of course, it probably doesn’t hurt to have lots of followers, or be a cute girl.
So what’s the deal with these Twitter sneakers? Do I have to walk to my destination in 140 steps or less?
Actually, it’s a custom designed Nike sneaker from self-proclaimed “Sneaker Freaker” Daniel Reese—and there are a lot more awesome designs where that came from. The gallery after the break provides a few examples.

When Facebook and random Internet memes are enjoying their time in the spotlight, it’s only natural that businesses will see dollar signs and saturate the market with fashions that can tell the world not only that you know how to use YouTube, but that all your conversations begin by clicking a “Poke” button on Facebook.
