Luke Gygax/Erol Otus shoe line

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

For the gamer who has everything. From Dicebreaker:

Lucion "Luke" Gygax, son of D&D’s co-creator and a tabletop figure in his own right, recently announced the addition of a line of shoes featuring fantasy-inspired art to his G20 lifestyle brand. The two available models come as hi-top or lo-top trainers in the 20th-century basketball shoe style with black or white trim. If you’ve seen a pair of Converse shoes, you know what to expect.

Emblazoned on the side of the Firewalker model is a red dragon illustrated by Tyler “Hos” Hostettler and clawing its way across a flaming gradient. The Elf and Eye model features artwork by Erol Otus, known for his work on TSR’s earliest D&D releases including the cover of Deities & Demigods’ initial publication. His shoe portrays a figure in sleek black armour battling against a many-eyed creature that is most certainly legally distinct from Wizards of the Coast’s Beholder.

At $90+, they ain't cheap, but they sure are pretty.

Sneakerheads have money they're willing to be parted with, so why not.

It's certainly a way to pay artists for their works.

Erol Otus sneakers are cool.*

Very cool. Several years back (2011, maybe?) I picked up an official pair of D&D sneakers (the Goblin Stompers). I loved those shoes. These appear to be of comparable quality.

And here I thought it was an early April Fool prank.

Want. Not sure at $110+ though.

Want. Not sure at $110+ though.

Also want. Am absolutely certain $110 is way more than I'm willing to pay. About triple. Thus, not for me.
