Jun 5 2009I Want: These Custom Metal Gear Solid Shoes
These custom painted Metal Gear Solid shoes were made by UCLA student and artist Jacob Patterson (no relation to Robert Pattinson) and shown off at the E3 convention. I want like four for each foot. You know, because I have big feet. ;) Ladies, that wink was for you.
He is apparently going to talk with Kojima and team to discuss the possibility of mass-producing these shoes via the Puma brand. So if things go well expect to be able to buy these at a store near you sometime in the future!
Well I usually only wear flip flips and aqua socks, but I'd make an exception for these bad boys. And speaking of bad boys -- I've been one lately. Now which one of you lovely ladies wants to ride on my motorcycle. And by motorcycle I mean lawn mower. And by 'ride on' I mean cut the backyard. Any takers? Come on -- I'll make lemonade!
Hit the jump for two closeups.
Metal Gear Shoes - Yes Please! [playstationlifestyle]
Thanks to Margo the Jeweler, who would have mand them shinier and with more diamonds. I'm with you, Margo.

You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face when I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it.

He's going to market them via the Puma brand… because Nike said no? Also, "want of you wants?" Been cruising hotmillionnairedating.com, GW?

This is totally gay. Why would you put videogame characters on your shoes unless you were a nerd ...

Someone should make some really really cheap shoes with their mybrute charachters on the side of them. And then convince other people to wear them.
Come wear the cheap shoes of mybrute.
They only take five minutes to wear out!

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 got hit in the head with a pair of sneakers that someone threw off a bridge, and the police found him with the stolen sneakers and put him in a jail that made him dig for buried treasure all the time. He ended up stealing a truck, and eating onions.

Yeah but then the last version of the shoes will come and you have closure.
BUT THEN another version comes out and it breaks your heart.......

If these were mass produced by Puma it would become even more sad to buy or wear them than it would be now.

21. London-girl - June 6, 2009 10:53 PM

22. Jacob Patterson - June 7, 2009 1:56 AM
Haha someone just linked me to this, it is awesome to see my work spreading.
@lame - I am definietly not a fag. I made shoes and met Hideo Kojima, and I am dating the most popular and hottest girl from our highschool. Epic Win. Epic fail whoever you are.
@Daisy - they are definitely not fake. I spent hours and hours painting them. Check the youtube videos at the bottom for proof.
@badpunntime - LMAO!!!! *stolen*
@geekologie - would you mind linking my youtube channel?

Anybody know the type of paint used to withstand the wear & tear shoes normally endure?
I would love to modify some shoes I have with kanji script. I've tried this before with markers(looks like crap) & basic paints but nothing looked decent nor held out
25. Jacob Patterson - June 8, 2009 2:47 AM
@naas:
check my youtube channel (3 comments up) - explains the process in detail

I'd ask him to paint my wang on a pair, but they don't make shoes that big.
