One of my favorite NES merch items just arrived today!!! :D
So most know my favorite thing to collect is actually not the games, but the merchandise / history of the NES era itself. I personally enjoy the advertising, artwork, as well as the overall 80's retro-ness of the merchandise.
I've had a lot of help from NA members in getting collection items, and Laurie really helped me with this one!!!
While cruising used ottowa, he managed to find these zelda shoes for me for a whopping $26! 
They do glow in the dark, and I would have to say, the box is by far the coolest part!

I cannot find any information on the shoes, minus the fact they were manufactured by a company located in new york city, NY.
One thing I did want to note, is the tongue is marked with "Nintendo Power" as the bottom of the shoe advertises the power pad. Its also funny how they are supposed to be zelda shoes, but are adorned with mario icons on them
On with the pictures. Some in chat have already seen the pictures of the shoes before arrival. Still wanted to share with the site

those are nice man, glow in the dark and everything...i didn't know you were into merch i know some ppl that are selling a bunch of nintendo era stuff.
yea man, I guess a lot of people dont. I mostly collect from the years 1988-1992, and only NTSC merchandise also.
those will look nice on you Alex
I thought the same thing! Only...they dont fit
Do they make those is 14 EE?
EDIT* I'm kidding man, those are kick ass. There's all this Nintendo merchandise I never knew existed
were there mario and punchout versions too?
I think they tried to roll all three of them into one product.
...but those were make in Korea, not NY. It says it on the box
I'm not kidding....srsly
