The Amount Of Detail In These Final Fantasy VI Shoes Blows My Mind

If you haven't been able to figure it out yet, we love Etsy. Part of the reason is that you can find incredible custom, handmade video game gear like these Final Fantasy Vans.

The detail on these shoes, painted with scenes, characters, and text from Final Fantasy VI, is something to behold. You really do have to look at all the pictures on the listing to appreciate how much work must have gone into them.

The shoes were made custom for someone, but artist turboS2 can make another pair--or any other kind of pair, if you ask nicely. Cry every time you think of Aeris' death scene? Want the tragedy immortalized on your kicks? Ask the seller. turboS2 also has Mario, Transformers, Kirby, Sonic, and Mega Man shoes currently available.

Wow... this is legit. Hopefully we get some more, in 8bit style

This looks awesome. Though, are they wash friendly? Or do you have to take care of them to the full because once you get a stain it's all over.

They suck!..

Sweet!!! These are amazing!

Etsy is the sh•t.

These are cool! I wouldn't wear them, just have them on display. Hope this person is still in business by the time I graduate school. I'll order a pair, one shoe with Sabin about to perform a Blitz, and the other shoe with Edgar using Chainsaw against Cactuar or Ultros, if it's possible. Although it's probably easier than the final battle.

Those look good.
by Yusuke Urameshi Friday, June 29, 2012 at 02:00 PM

I'd wear 'em.
by LPHero55 Friday, June 29, 2012 at 02:38 PM

neat.
by Mattchew Friday, June 29, 2012 at 02:52 PM

Nice I would wear them, but I wouldn't pay the outrageous amount of money they're asking for them.... $200 bucks really?
by Companion Cube Friday, June 29, 2012 at 02:56 PM

QUICK! GET TO THE FINAL FANTASY VAN!
by Rumiko Friday, June 29, 2012 at 03:57 PM

Now the real question is...What will these match with?
by Mystt Friday, June 29, 2012 at 04:11 PM

Looks alright, but does Mog need to look like he's melting?
by thejonnymar Friday, June 29, 2012 at 04:15 PM

Pretty awesome! FF VI is definitely a game deserving of this honor...
by PSgamer99 Friday, June 29, 2012 at 06:05 PM

Were can I get that!
by Espionage120559 Friday, June 29, 2012 at 06:41 PM

Not the best, but still pretty cool
by ichigo15 Friday, June 29, 2012 at 10:08 PM

HALO SHOES WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by Tim Gruver Saturday, June 30, 2012 at 04:31 PM

I'd love to have these, not wear these. I'd probably just have to hide these in my closet and drool over them.
by Colton Saturday, June 30, 2012 at 06:11 PM

I wish I had lots and lots of money.
by JPrince1017 Saturday, July 07, 2012 at 12:02 AM
