			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kivadeno, an Etsy user, has created some awesome <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/89717680/super-mario-brother-custom-vans?ref=sr_gallery_7&amp;sref=&amp;ga_search_submit=&amp;ga_search_query=super+mario+brothers&amp;ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_ship_to=US&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_type=handmade&amp;ga_facet=handmade"><em>Super Mario Bros.</em> Custom Vans</a>. I know what you&#8217;re all thinking&#8230; you probably think that your nondescript white van with no windows serves you well enough in driving around for your window cleaning business, and that a Super Mario Bros. van might draw too much unneeded attention.</p>
<p><span id="more-81049"></span>Well, you are obviously not &#8220;hip&#8221;, as the kids say these days, since you were unaware that vans are no longer ugly cars &#8211; they are things that you put on your feet. The Super Mario Brothers <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2012/01/10/retro-star-wars-van/">Custom Vans</a> feature both Mario and Luigi &#8211; one on each shoe. Despite the fact that Kivadeno may have forgotten to draw Luigi&#8217;s chin (maybe he left it at home) the designs are pretty awesome.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81082" title="super-mario-vans-1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/super-mario-vans-1.jpg" alt="super mario vans 1" width="600" height="831" /></p>
<p>On the back of the shoes, you have a couple of options. You can get the red and green mushrooms, or you can get two generic Yoshi eggs. You can go with this, or you can go with that. <em>*<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zJWA3Vo6TU">Cue shuffling hamsters</a>* </em>Obviously, you want to go with the &#8216;shrooms on this one. Unfortunately, since these shoes are hand-painted, and Kivadeno put a lot of effort into making them, you&#8217;re going to have to fork over $90(USD) for them. Geeks, get your forks ready, because there&#8217;s only one pair left, and I&#8217;m sure plenty of other people have their silverware primed and ready to fork over cash. <em>*Stabs a $100 bill* </em>I&#8217;M GOING ALL IN ON THIS ONE.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes, when you really love a series, there&#8217;s nothing you won&#8217;t do to promote your fandom, even down to plastering the very shoes on your feet with the franchise&#8217;s iconography. When that franchise also happens to be about attorneys and people with crazy names, this is the result:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12093" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/tb-pwshoes1.jpg" alt="tb pwshoes1" width="520" height="389" title="tb pwshoes1 photo" /></p>
<p><em>Objection!</em> I don&#8217;t have any shoes that are nearly that cool. Thanks to the step-by-step report posted by creator Tonks, though, I could make my own&#8230; if only I had any of that pesky artistic talent. Maybe that&#8217;s available on eBay? If not, well, at least <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&amp;item=170326031154">these shoes are</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12094" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/tb-pwshoes2.jpg" alt="tb pwshoes2" width="520" height="195" title="tb pwshoes2 photo" /></p>
<p>The <em>Ace Attorney</em> series is a cult favorite, and Phoenix Wright&#8217;s pointing finger has shown up in all sorts of places along with his<em> Hold it!</em>s. With the franchise expanding now to include prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, who will be starring in his own games, it will be interesting to see where this goes with the DIY crowd in the future.</p>
