As with all G.I. Joe toys, the only proper way to use these shoes is to keep them in their original packaging and threaten bodily harm to anyone who tries to wear them.
Would it kill them to release Back to the Future II-style shoes? I mean, how many GI Joe shoes to they expect to sell, and compare that to all the people who would gladly fork over a hundred dollars to look like Marty McFly. Bah.
@92BuickLeSabre: I didn't know there was actually such a list, but if Meredith would be so kind as to put together one post with the entirety of the list, I can personally pledge to buy 1/4th of whatever is on that list.
Really, Annalee....why would you want Gizmo themed sneakers when you could have something so much more your style.....behold Puma's Monster Pack shoes! [sneakernews.com]
A few weeks ago on SNL when Seth Rogan was hosting they did a pretty funny skit called 'Girlfriend Voice' where three guys in a bar use different voices depending on who they were talking to on the phone. Bill Hader did a hilarious imitation of Gizmo the Gremlin singing that practically had me in tears.
@OW-Holmes, the housekeeper.: "I JUST had this great idea. GREMLINS: REBORN. They'll all be CG models and we'll have a smartass kid play the lead. Gotta keep the old Asian storeowner, though. That NEVER gets old. Haha, Asian people are mysterious!"
@cadrina: Yeah I was down with it until it looked like they had to skin several Mogwais (Mogwae?) to make one shoe. Poor bastards. Last thing I need is PETA pouring fake blood on my shoes. Wait, actually... that would get them wet and then I'd have more shoes!!! Hrmmm interesting.
Aww, too bad you have to buy both pairs to get the full effect. Now, if only you could rub neat't foot oil on the Mogwai shoe and watch it pop out a bunch of green gremlin shoes. Actually, never mind. Ew.

1) Coraline Kicks
2) 2015 Trainers
3) Karen Gillan's outfit from the Doctor Who stills.
But I feel certain that my mental extrapolations from this list are both accurate and justified.

Ahh! Donald Sutherland on "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". Cool movie, with very nice female nudity.
