Take your Zelda on the go with these handpainted Vans photo

Kyozo Kicks has been busy creating awesome again. Last time, he whipped up the most incredible tribute to Phoenix Wright in wearable form ever, and this time, he's back with a little bit of love for the Triforce-obsessed.

I really dig the crisp paint job and cool look of these sneakers -- and it seems the artist is open to custom requests as well, so if you're wild about the idea of owning your own Arcana Heart sneakers, get to it and send him an email. Check out his blog if you want to see more about the creation process.

I personally think these are cool, but I would guess some people feel taking your gaming obsessions to your closet might be a little bit further then they want to go. Would you wear shoes like this, or do you prefer to limit your gaming apparel to cleverly worded t shirts?

I could use a new pair of funky shoes. These would do nicely.

I've never been a fan of those Vans/Keds slip ons. Everyone I knew who wore them growing up were annoying dorks.

looks good, but one of the few videogame themed clothes that I can remember that I would not wear. I don't like the colourscheme for some reason. :x

Hm, that's a little pricey for shoes. Anyone know how easily that paint wears off? I'm pretty rough on shoes, thus my penchant for being cheap about buying them. :x

I'd get these in a heartbeat if it was painted on a pair of white on white forces or fabric Alife's, but Vans? Yeah, I'll pass.

I would way get these, although I own a few Zelda pick-a-path books based on the oracle of seasons/ages games, so I guess Im not the one to ask.

Those look pretty damn good, but I wouldn't wear them out of fear of ruining them.

They look pretty great but are way too expensive! About 175 dollars is far too much to ask for these painted shoes...yet...I can't...resist...damnit.
