Instead of a sewing machine, Studio Swine used a CNC mill to make its eye-catching Meteorite Shoes. The studio used a 3D scanner to scan meteorite samples at the Natural History Museum. They used the resulting 3D files to create a design for the shoes’ upper.

Peter Capaldi is shaping up to be an amazing Doctor. He seems to channel several of the past Doctors, while adding his own unique spin to the character. IMHO, the writing could be better, but I love Capaldi’s Doctor.

Back in 2011 Nike released its official take on the MAG sneakers that Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future II. But those shoes were a limited edition and were auctioned off, which meant that for many of us they may as well have cost as much as a time machine.

These Tricera Hi-Tops from Archaix Laboratories are the single most awesome pieces of footwear I have ever seen. You can walk your triceratops feet around today’s concrete jungles, just like the real thing did ages ago.

PaleoBarefoot’s $265 PRONATIV chainmaille running shoes are not particularly stylish, but they should protect you from tiny swords and daggers should they be aimed at your feet. Apparently they are supposed to feel like you are running barefoot, but somehow I doubt that.

Looking for a new pair of kicks? A pair that will stand up to a bunch of running and jumping, kicking Goombas, and the occasional lava level? Converse has introduced a new line of shoes in Japan that are Super Mario-themed and come in two colors.

Designers draw inspiration from their passions and interests, and from random things that catch their eye. The former was probably true for jewelry and shoe designer Nixxi Rose when she came up with this series of to-die-for footwear featuring the likes of the previously seen Iron Shoes (inspired by the hit show Game of Thrones) and the Krueger Heels (which were inspired by – you guessed it – Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger.)

Sadly, this pair of high heels by designer Nixxi Rose is not for sale, so the only way to get a pair is if you pay the iron price. However, if you really want to walk on these Thrones, you can make your own.

Check out this video of Colin Furze (the maniac who gave us those cool Wolverine claws) walking on the ceiling using his newly-completed, homemade Magneto boots. I question his sanity after seeing him laughing hysterically over the feat.

These boots are made from snakeskin. Not only that, but they also have actual cobra heads on the tips. They’re the perfect shoes for Cobra Commander or for an Indiana Jones villain. This is probably the one thing that would make Indy soil himself and run off into the night, never to return again.

A couple of years ago we saw a pair of shoes with built-in navigation capabilities. That was a one-off, but it looks like you’ll be able to buy something similar to that in the near future.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Instapump Fury, Reebok will be releasing 27 different variants of the lace-less shoes throughout spring and summer. I don’t know why there will be 27 variants and not 20, but I do know that two of those variants are based on the Gundam series.

Footwear hasn’t exactly been a hotbed for true technological innovation, but these shoes change that. Israeli startup B-Shoe Technologies has developed some new shoes that incorporate some really helpful features. Like, helping you to not fall.

Marvel superheroes know all about kicking butt, so it only makes sense to wear some combat boots. These Marvel Comics women’s combat boots from Wet Seal should fill the bill.

You wouldn’t download a sneaker. Oh you would? Check out Recreus hot off the extruder Sneakerbot II. Unlike Kobes, KDs, LeBrons and other signature kicks, Sneakerbot II won’t ever be hoarded by celebrities and eBay sellers.

One of my favorite video game franchises is Fallout. If you are a fan of the game, you will appreciate the latest product from Bethesda Softworks called Vault 101 Sneakers. They are also known as Vault-Tec Item 72778011-101.
