Anime News Network's merchandise coverage sponsored by
Tokyo Otaku Mode.
The Japanese website
SuperGroupies are the masters of shoes, dresses, umbrellas, and other stylish accessories based on anime properties. The website is adding to its mail-order items, this time with shoes inspired by Edward Elric and Roy Mustang from
Fullmetal Alchemist.
Edward's shoes are red and black, mimicking his trench coat and shirt. A rectangular charm imitates the fastener seen near his collar while the braided strap is supposed to represent Ed's own hair.
Roy's shoes are blue like his uniform with an asymmetrical fold similar to the breast of his jacket. The stars and bars on the side will let other savvy fans know that you're a colonel.
Each pair costs 12,800 yen (US$107).
