I've been looking around for Nintendo, Sony, and Sega flip flops/sandals. I know i'm a nerd but this is one of those few things even google couldn't find for me. I see the mario shoes for $120 and I remember Sonic having his own line of shoes back in '93. But where is the beachwear? I know it's out there. Hot Topic has Hello Kitty Flip Flops, a step in the right direction; But not even close. The search button is my friend, but walmart might give me footrash.
I think there were also some Sonic branded/licensed grind shoes back during the Dreamcast era. I believe they were called "Soaps" or something silly like that and featured a moulded groove in the sole to allow juvenille delinquents the ability to "grind" stairwells in a sort of Jet Grind Radio-esque fashion. I'll check my old issues of ODCM since I believe there was a review or at least a mention of them.
Yeah, there were Sonic soaps. They had a different name though....Scorchers or something? My cousin used to have those back in the day. Man they were annoying.
