9's Stitchpunk Sneakers Climb Up The "Things We Need" Chart

As if we could get any more excited about Shane Acker's 9, they've brought out limited-edition 9 shoes. Last year, Focus Films put out the drool-inducing Coraline kicks, and now these shoes, which are well worth inflicting robot death for.

I've already started a personal savings fund to acquire Marty McFly's 2015 Trainers, and totally botched the limited edition Coraline ebaying back and forth, (turns out you need MONEY to purchase them) — but these Pony sneaks will not get past me. Check out the green bottoms. Who's going to bet they have glow-in-the-dark soles, just like the green little life goo the ragdolls pass around in the flick...

Nice. No idea when these hit the stores, but we'll keep you all updated. Shane Acker's animated end of the world film, however, will be released on 9/09/09.

Batman and Superman Are Diamonds on the Soles of Your Shoes

Express your superhero preferences with what you're wearing on your feet. Nike's new shoes from its skateboarding line are inspired by Batman, Superman and Venom, and they're a lot more subtle than last month's DC Comics line of superhero kicks. Who wins the war on the ground?

While the D.C. Comics shoes from Limited Soles announced last month that you rep a particular superhero, the new Nike SBs simply suggest the presence of greatness is in the area. You don't need Bruce Wayne on the back of your heels...your tailored suit, sneakers, and butler tells the ladies everything you need to know.

The Nike SB shoes come out in November, and you can preorder them here.
