Apr 18 2009Must Have: Custom Monkey Island Shoes
Converse All-Stars aren't really my thing, but I would make an exception and rock the hell out of these mama-jammas. Inspired by The Secret of Monkey Island, the shoes were hand-painted by a Spanish fan with scenes from the game (the opening and an insult swordfight). Awesome, now I want a pair of custom Monkey Island kicks. Also, a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle. WHEE!
Hit the jump for close-ups of each shoe.
This is the END for you, you gutter-crawling cur!
And I've got a little TIP for you, get the POINT?

this reminds me of the time that i bought a pair of purple chuck taylor rip off's (i'm thinking vans) and wrote ha ha ha all over them because my mom wouldn't buy me the real joker chucks. I was thinking "custom," apparently everyone else was thinking "let's kick this poor kids ass every day for the next 3 years."
ahh, youth.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie NEver BAck Down where MAx sang You are so beautiful to draw in the Dinosaur, the make 7 up yours guy rescued the kid it was carrying and Fox Muldar shot it with a shotgun.
