These ostentatious shoes and boots are embedded with working Gameboys. The best part? You can pop out the Gameboys and play with them!
Like almost every other cutting-edge, kooky techno-fashion mashup, these have been spotted on teenage girls in Japan. They don’t look easy to walk in, but that’s a small price to pay while looking hot and having not one but TWO Gameboys available on your person for use at any moment.
I like this yellow pair that not only showcases your Gameboys, but also your Pikachu figurines. Seriously, guys, it wasn’t enough to have the Gameboys? You needed Pokemon characters AND Gameboys? What’s next, you throw in a joystick and a couple of Furbys?
I’m not sure how one can find a pair of these to purchase, as I haven’t been able to figure it out. I’m afraid the only way to get your hands on a pair is to hie thee to Harajuku. In the meantime, you can see more pictures at syberpunk.

Good luck getting through airport security with those bad boys on.

Sir,
I am a journalist working for Internews, a UK news agency.
Can you please advise where to get hi-res images of these shoes?
Many thanks

I want some, but to hold my iPhone instead of a gameboy.

@ manchicken: good point.
@ Len Adams: I found them on Syberpunk, so that’s all I know about them - I recommend visiting their site (linked in the article) and asking them.
@ Marghi: but then you’d have TWO iPhones, or a very lopsided gait…

ha! reminds me of my prom. I cut up a pair of childrens LA gear light up shoes and hot glue gunned them to the soles of mine! I think these are a unique idea, but you’d never see me wearing them, thats for sure

A bit late to the punch, but I wonder if you could get a pair with some of those connector cables. You know, so you could hook the Gameboys up and play Pokemon against a friend.
