There'll be no objections to these Phoenix Wright shoes photo

Well, will you look at that. Some brilliant gamer has decided to bring his love to gaming into the world of fashion, and the result is better than any overpriced designer Mario shirt. The artist actually retooled a pair of Converse to make Noby Noby Boy shoes a while back, and these are his (or her!) latest creation.

Perhaps the paint would crack after some wear (just like every pair of Vans I've ever owned, they always get a crease at that point where you bend your foot while walking), but I can't help but think these might be worth it anyway. They were for sale on eBay UK, but the listing is gone, presumably because some rabid Phoenix Wright fan offered the artist their life savings and first born child to be able to own them!

I'm not NEARLY hip enough to get away with those.

Very cool looking but what Half left said.

Also the Noby Noby Boy shoes are NICE!

Those are kinda lame.

Would have been better if it had Phoenix pointing at the other shoe and Edgeworth on the other shoe glaring at Phoenix.

You just couldn't kick someone with those without shouting the catchphrases too.

You always find random wicked shoes Colette. Great work, keep it up.

I've never worn Vans before, they usually were low on my shoes radar whenever I have shopped for them. After this, my interests have certainly piqued.

I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that, they're just too geeky.

MAYBE if they were Air Force Ones can that look be pulled off. Let's face it, anything on an AF1 looks good. That alongside a matching shirt and pants.

Probably one of my favorite pair of shoes, the good ol' vans slip-on. This only makes them 1378253872154974 times more awesome.

Yeah, what is the deal with that unavoidable crease? So peculiar.

Hey Colette,

Thanks for putting my work up on Destructoid - A true honor if there ever was one!

They are still on eBay but the url changed and broke all the links!
