Men’s Fish Tank Platform Shoes: Pimp My Heels

People are coming up with all sorts of weird shoes lately, but these men’s platform shoes with aquariums in the heels might actually be the most wacky of them all. Clearly inspired by I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, they’re definitely not something you’ll be wearing to work, unless the street is your office, that is.

The style itself looks like it came straight from the seventies with the wide heels and the laces. And while they look sort-of cool (again, in a bizarre way), I’m pretty sure only a handful of guys can actually wear these shoes and manage not to look like a fool.

They’d be great for disco-themed costume parties and pimp-cosplay, though.

They’re available over on Amazon for $44 to $88(USD) a pair, depending on the pattern and size. Not recommended for actual fish.

Disco Ball Motorcycle Helmet Might Not Keep You Stayin’ Alive in a Crash

While I’m not really sure that covering a bike helmet with razor-sharp glass mirror tiles exactly adds to its safety capabilities, you still have to love the looks of this awesome disco ball helmet.

Instructables contributor Natalina encrusted this helmet with hundreds of tiny mirror squares – just like the ones in an actual mirror ball. Though these ones came with fabric backing to make it a little easier. The mirror tiles perfectly reflect light like the real deal, so she can actually keep it on when she gets off her bike to hit the dance floor.

Natalia says that since she went with the real glass tiles for optimum reflection, but that she wouldn’t recommend using it for actual motorcycle riding though. You could always go with safer acrylic mirrors, but they won’t shine as much. If you’d like to know how to make your own Disco Ball helmet, boogie (oogie oogie) on over to Instructables now.
