Gearfuse

Time to retire your old Chuck Taylors. There is finally a worthy high-top successor. Handpainted by Rachelle Williams of ParadoxArtistry, these Super Mario Sneakers feature all of your favorite Mario characters, custom crafted onto a pair of high-tops.

These are so awesome it hurts. $160 will snag you a pair of these sneaks or you can choose from a butt load of other awesome shoes offered on their Etsy store. They are even taking orders for custom sneakers. I’ll take a Gearfuse-themed pair!

The Converse Chuck Taylor is becoming the premier shoe for customization as of late. Rodrigo Galindez, however, looks to a game from the 1990s for inspiration. The amazing Gram Fandango lives on in the form of purple-colored high-top Chucks. To own a pair would be divine, but alas, they aren’t for sale.

Know what makes people go batshit? The Dark Knight. Get it? Get it? C’mon!

Shitty jokes aside, check out these custom-made Converse Chucks from SweatShop Clothing. Looks like the design team over there really had a hard-on for Heath (RIP) as they really went to town on this pair of kicks. All four suits in a deck of cards plus an image of the Joker’s face add to the look, including text that says “WHY SO SERIOUS?” That should be enough to send chills down your spine if you saw the movie.
