Meh at them using knockoff PF Flyers. They should have gone with New Balance (people who make PFs) or Converse for some Chuck Taylors.

Maybe want? I wouldn't ever order something before knowing the price. Also, I've never heard of shoes (other than slippers or something) being in SML sizes. I have super tiny feet so a medium probably wouldn't fit me anyway.

This sneakers are made not walking. This merchandising footwear probably being put in a case and being display along your anime/manga memorabilia for bragging rights.

First thought when I saw the headline: "Of course they are."
Who needs a new series/4-koma when you can put out merch instead? |

Note to self: if visiting Japan, be sure to stock extra shoes because "medium" and "large" are value meal sizes, not shoe sizes. Wait. Large? I have to say, I'm a bit surprised there's no news article listing the item(s) these girls will not appear on in 2010. I wonder if these shoes play the songs from the series as they walk. "1.. 2... 3..." |

If they had printed the character's faces on the soles instead of the sides, that would have opened up a whole new market. All the K-ON! haters out there would bought them for the vicarious joy of stomping them into the pavement.

Okay, *maybe* this K-on! merchandise thing is getting a little silly now, but at least sneakers are functional.

So K-ON! will, in fact, grow to the same marketability highs as other Kyoto Animation titles like Haruhi and Lucky Star. Next we'll see credit cards and under ware (it happened with Lucky Star).
But I like this merch idea actually. I really like design shoes which is why I end up buying new limited edition converse every other month. I would love it if I could combined my love for cool looking shoes with anime. But I would prefer a series other than K-On!, I'm just not really a fan of it. I would rather see shoes for shows like Gurren Lagann, FLCL, GITS, Lupin 3rd, Mushi-shi, ext. I would pay good money for a well done pair of anime shoes. |

If they make a K-ON debit card, I will order one as soon as they anounce it! |
