Sonic the Hedgehog Sneakers Won’t Help You Spin Dash Any Faster

So you’ve got the blue spiky hairdo, and you still can’t run as fast as Sonic. Clearly, what you need are his tennis shoes. These official Sonic the Hedgehog sneakers should do the trick quite nicely.

These colorful slip-ons look just like the iconic red and white strapped sneaks that Sonic wears as he runs and spins through the Green Hill Zone, as he makes his way to take on Doctor Robotnik and free his animal friends. They come in a commemorative box and include a collectible Sonic acrylic stand.

They’re available over on Amazon Japan for ¥7020 (~$64 USD).
