This is one press release we weren't expecting to receive today. SEGA has teamed up with PUMA to produce two Sonic the Hedgehog themed pairs of sneakers in the RS-0 range -- one based on the Blue Blur himself, and the other drawing inspiration from his arch nemesis.
The blue pair features rings and Green Hill Zone details that wrap around the back and sides of each shoe, and the famous checkerboard design carries on inside, where you'll also see Sonic's classic sprite. It's a similar story for the Dr Eggman pair, which bears a stark red design with caution stripes that also adorn the insole. They're bold, if nothing else.
The RS-0 Sonic and Dr Eggman shoes will be available to purchase on 5th June from PUMA's website, stores, and other select retailers. They'll set you back $130, which isn't too bad. They'll probably provide you with more entertainment than Sonic Forces, so at least there's that.
Will you be buying a pair of Sonic-themed trainers for when you're running around at the speed of sound? Remember to tie your laces in the comments below.

Love the Eggman ones. Not overly keen on the Sonic ones, though they are cool.

Hey, is this 1995?
@Quintumply "This is one press release we weren't expecting to receive today."
Except they announced this at the same time as that racing game, Mania Adventures and Mania Plus...
@YummyHappyPills You'd know because you were the only person paying attention.
They look alright. I think the Sonic themed one would have been better if it used a basic blue color instead of that pattern.
Still, I wouldn't mind having these.
Oh they're gorgeous and I love them
@get2sammyb other way round for me. Don't like the Robotnik ones and the hazard stripes all over the bottom. However, I do quite like blue shoes and could easily see myself rocking a Sonic pair someday.
@get2sammyb Nah, I paid attention to their press releases right after the event as well as written summaries.
I want the game gear shaped ones please. My only concern is that they would have rubbish ankle support and the battery would run out after 10 minutes
Where's knuckles version, he actually knows the way.
Who is this Eggman person? I'm so old!
I wouldn't wear these if they were my actual feet.
