For $40 You Can Buy These Drop-Dead Gorgeous Sonic Shoes
Did you remember it was Sonic's 25th anniversary this year? No? Well, you're gonna have to get him a gift anyway, and something from this new line of Sonic-related clothing from Drop Dead should do the trick.
There's an entire line of Sonic-related clothing to choose from, including a hoodie, t-shirts, and socks, but by far the most striking are replicas of the Hedgehog's iconic shoes, with buckle and everything. The shoes will run you about £30 plus shipping (which is about $40 plus shipping), while the most expensive item, the "This Is How I Roll" Bomber Jacket will run about £100 plus shipping (about $133 plus shipping).
Drop Dead have released a short, retro-inspired ad (found below) showing off some of the designs in the collection.

Our Take
It's a real shame Sonic's had to resort to selling his closetful of shoes just to get by. Here's hoping everything's going okay for the Hedgehog.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
