Apr 9 2010Custom Super Paper Mario Nike Dunks

Remember back in the day when I would post all kinds of custom painted shoes and you were all, "dammit, GW, enough with the stupid painted shoes!", and I'd be like, "I can't help it, I've been drinking!". Well I'm back off the metaphorical wagon, baby! And, from the look of things, I'm in a ditch. Don't roll me over -- I might puke.
These awesomely cool Nike Vintage Dunks are available in an amazing combination of red, blue and white and with the greatest video game character in history, Mario
Available for a price of £89.99 (~$140) these superb looking vintage dunks are designed to bring out the video game lover in you holding true to your personality and at the same time making you feel proud of whom you are.
The shoes are actually custom painted by HappyCash Fashion and are currently sold out. I assume because they only painted one pair. And speaking of painting pairs: one time I airbrushed a bushel red to look like apples. Oh man, the laughs I had at the farmer's market!

$140!? That seems a little high for something so basic. I mean there are people on deviantart that make hell of better maroi theme and custom shoes for a lot less.

I actually like the custom painted shoes. It gives me hope that someday I'll get around to making a few pairs and some major bucks along with it. If people are willing to pay that high for my art as long as it's on a shoe, why not?

@2
But do they have a NIKE logo?
5. Posttache - April 9, 2010 10:05 AM
Kinda want.

I was in Philadelphia last year and saw some guy selling sneakers down in the bus station like that. He had the whole McDonald's line up - Early Bird, Grimace, those Fry kids, Hamburgler, and of course Ronald. They weren't nike, but they looked 10X rad.

Whoa...I don't think I've bought a pair of Nike's since the 85 Jordan's, but I seriously would buy these. http://tinyurl.com/yebhmvn

Those are pretty damn cool, reminds me of the oldschool airwalks...
@2 they're custom shoes though
@4 who friggin cares, they're mario shoes - fuck the nike logo, it'd ruin the whole concept
@6 sweet - I'd score some taco bell customs if I ever saw them in my size
HAPPY FRIDAY GEEKOLOGISTS

@Naas: Taco Bell custom shoes are something I thought I could only dream of. Somebody should make this a reality.
10. Boozie - April 9, 2010 10:34 AM
Happy Friday to you too Naas, and by the way could you spare $140...mama needs a new pair of shoes!

I just kicked my sneaker addiction. Thank you GW for posting this awesome shoe and I may have to revisit a rehabilitation center.
12. Pat - April 9, 2010 10:42 AM
Very, very nice. Just don't start posting the watches again.

Happy Taco Bell Friday to you naas. Which reminds me of a joke ...
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Attack.
Attack who?
Attack who a day keeps the munchies away.
(Get it? A taco a day ... sheesh, tough crowd)
15. naas - April 9, 2010 11:05 AM
@9 I'm with you, I'd wear any taco bell shoes with pride unless they looked like total shit.
@10 no problem boozie that $ is on its way
16. naas - April 9, 2010 11:08 AM

17. White667 - April 9, 2010 11:09 AM
Wow, kinda tempted.
18. naas - April 9, 2010 11:21 AM
Ok it's official...... I checked with the higher ups & as per Dishys [email protected] & his hilarious joke, IT IS TACO BELL FRIDAY
Post a picture of yourself indulging the bell today with geekologie somehow in the background and I will send you hundreds of interwebz dollars for you effort. Who's in? I'll post my pic in a few hours because I'm not hungry right now
19. naas - April 9, 2010 11:23 AM
It doesn't have to be taco bell though, Del Taco or TacoTacoTaco or whatever taco would be just as awesome....... just sayin
20. Posttache - April 9, 2010 11:30 AM
How bout takoyaki?
21. Closet Nerd - April 9, 2010 11:30 AM
@18 but i just had tacos for dinner last night.... just sayin
22. naas - April 9, 2010 11:35 AM
@20 nope, looks too much like balls. If you shove them into a taco shell however you might be onto something
@21 were they from taco bell, del taco or taco³ ?? If no then it's taco time mario kart master
23. Dishy - April 9, 2010 12:03 PM
@21 ClosetNerd, were they fish tacos? Chinese fish tacos?
Ohh, sorry! Forgot that's a sensitive topic, my bad.
24. Dishy - April 9, 2010 12:05 PM
naas, you'll probably see me at the Taco Bell. Here's what I look like:

25. naas - April 9, 2010 12:06 PM
The only downside right now is that I need to sober up to hit the drive through today. I still have 1/2 of a giant screwdriver to finish & it's after 11 so right now that's not happening.
The last time I drove *slightly intoxicted* to taco bell I ended up ordering fuckin $30 worth of food. The time before that.......

27. Durand - April 9, 2010 2:02 PM
All of these comments are why Geekologie needs some sort of chatroom. Too much awesome is conveyed for mere comments to contain.
28. Closet Nerd - April 9, 2010 2:20 PM
@22 homemade tacos.... its been a long time since i've even been able to enjoy a taco, because of a bad experience i had over 6 months ago
@23 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
you're too much.... good memory.... just sayin
29. naas - April 9, 2010 3:22 PM
@24 hardcore Dishy, hardcore.......
Here's what I ended up getting today

Yikes naas, that's about a million calories there. You could feed Africa.
You should bring along a designated food orderer.
Designated, NOT impreginated, or you'll end up with even more food.
The stress relief picture just before -- I like. I'm a master gardener after all.
31. naas - April 9, 2010 4:23 PM
@30 Ha I didn't eat all of that, she had half of it & there's 2 tacos & the fridge leftover for whatever later on. I may have them fight one another or have one send the other into taco-orbit, but I haven't decided just yet.
The stress relief was another one of those fridays I think.... or a monday, tuesday or thursday
32. Durand - April 9, 2010 6:41 PM
@29 That better be Baja Blast in that cup...just sayin.
33. Sue - April 10, 2010 2:33 AM
@2. These are exclusive custom dunks. if youre a sneaker head and know about kicks, 140 is nothing.
34. HappyCash Owner - April 10, 2010 5:59 PM
