Sometimes, something comes along that makes you feel like a 12 year old again, and this collection of custom sneakers from M.T.A.T.W does just that! Displaying cartoon characters from a bygone era (some of which have recent feature films) mixed with classic sneaker styles, these incredibly detailed pieces of art almost look too good to wear.
Made in limited numbers or, more usually, made to order, each pair is completely unique and one of a kind – so if individuality is your thing then there are few better ways to spend your dollars. And if you thought the sneakers were all you would get for your hard earned cash, you’re wrong! Your favourite super hero kicks come in their very own themed shoe box and with the odd accessory (for example, the Captain America trainers come with a Captain America shield/frisby!) just to complete the set.
Although I seem to have been carried away on a wave of nostalgia, it would be unfair to suggest these cartoon themed sneakers were M.T.A.T.W’s only string to their well-crafted bow. They have a range of customs ranging from Chinese Dynasty themes to graffiti.
Obviously, such work doesn’t come cheap with some of the most expensive pairs setting you back $550 and above! In my opinion, that’s a lot for a pair of sneakers…but to feel like a child again is priceless! I’m off to raid my piggy bank and to get a paper round…
