Geeked-Out: Gears Branded “Shoes of War”
by Justin Arnold on October 7, 2008 at 6:43 pm
First there was the Lancer Assault Rifle replica. Now, for your consideration, the brain trust at Globe skate footwear bring you the Gears of War Special Edition Co-op shoe. Chainsaw bayonet not included.
The website declares that:
“Globe has teamed up with EPIC and their Gears of War video game, one of the best selling combat video games of all-time, to bring you a Special Edition Co-op shoe based on Globe’s Fusion Model. This one comes with a big pop of the Gears of War icon inside and out.”
What exactly is a “shoe of war” made of? It features spandex, breathable mesh, and kinetic EVA cushioning for flinging oneself behind strategic cover whilst taking fire.
The shoe is planned to be priced $70 - $80 and comes in sizes men’s sizes 5 through 14. Must have for the fashionable shod gamer – or 15-year-olds who have too bilked too much money from their parents.
No work yet on whether or not Gears commando Marcus Fenix has endorsed the shoe, but early word from his publicist is that “the triple stitching aids in the crushing of Locust trachea quite nicely.”

Wait, the shoe is “co-op?” Does that mean you can only wear one while your friend wears the other?

If it is then their little buddy Cpt. Freeride should pay $40.
Maybe it’s because I live in Seattle but when I read “co-op” I think of dirty hippies shopping in an all-natural store for tree-bark energy drinks while wearing all-hemp track suits.
