Jul 24 2008Why So Serious?: Custom Joker Shoes

Custom shoe-painter SweatShop Clothing sent me the link to a pair of Heath Ledger Joker shoes he made for some chick in New Zealand that wanted them to wear to the movie or something. Here they are. Hit the jump to see a ton of pictures, including several of the painting process. Great job SweatShop. Now how about some polos, but instead of a crocodile or guy on horseback, a little "Why so serious?" Joker face. Oh hell yes. Just let me know if you need any help in the factory, I'll send the neighbor's kids right over.
Hit it for a ton more, and a link to the artist's Myspace if you want something similar.
P.S. Miss you Heath.

They were probably for Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.

it took shoes designed around a character he portrayed for you to care about him.

It sounds like the Geekologie writer has developed a boy-crush.

Just when I thought you'd lost all meaning of "epic fail" you link to the myspace of "the artist" who decorated his shoes with an emblem from a studio blockbuster. You had me worried there.

Just as lame as the other twelve pairs of painted shoes The Superficial writer posted, and perhaps owns.

Aren't these shoe artists breaking copyright laws or something? I'm surprised the movie studio hasn't asked for a royalty.

Would've looked better sans the back stripe and colored eyelets... But damn, he did a great joke with the Joker's face.
