Description Somewhere around last month, when I thought I'd be a little productive, I took a pair of white shoes which had been gifted to me by a friend and started drawing on them. Those shoes are the shoes I use the most.... I had a set of eight permanent Sharpie markers, so I put them to good use.

And here you have it: Super Mario Shoes!

Yes, I hand-drew the whole lot of designs on the shoes. Not all the designs are accurate. Some, I did by memory, others, I did while referencing Super Mario Wiki. There's a little bit of blue splashed all over the place because I had worn these shoes one rainy day, and I accidentally stepped into a puddle.

The Super Mario franchise belongs to Nintendo.

P.S. "So Happy" is a Let's Play catchphrase that has caught on with a lot of video game enthusiasts, but was started by Timothy Bishop (otherwise known as NintendoCapriSun).

Tell me, if I were to customise a pair of shoes and have them shipped over to you, all for a price, would you have it?

Oh definitely all though there are complications as I would have to go through with my parents as I am not yet old enough to buy things online I personally think you should try out websites like etsy there great for selling things like this

I will need sizes though, because each pair is going to be unique. Most likely.

Well i think on Etsy you can post a pic of the ones you have made then get people to message you with there requirements all though i think you're better off looking into it as i am not too sure about it myself

troisnyxetienne In reply to Catyclept [2012-07-20 19:56:14 +0000 UTC]

I guess so. I guess I'll post a few examples, and then say I take x commissions at a time, and each pair is unique etc.

Now to actually save up for materials. D:

I'm really glad you like them -- say, if I were to customise a pair and have them shipped over to you, all for a price, would you have it?

MC-Ash-Tray In reply to troisnyxetienne [2012-07-20 05:41:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah totally. Depends on the price.

troisnyxetienne In reply to MC-Ash-Tray [2012-07-20 09:48:06 +0000 UTC]

It will depend on how much I spend on a decent pair of shoes. My estimate is £6, so I can mark it up to £8.50 if sold... which makes about $10. Would you personally think that's an okay price, or not?

MC-Ash-Tray In reply to troisnyxetienne [2012-07-20 19:34:58 +0000 UTC]

That's a very good price. Wait... US or Canadian?

US.

MC-Ash-Tray In reply to troisnyxetienne [2012-07-20 19:56:56 +0000 UTC]

So in Canadian dollars, that would be... around $20 right?

Okay, I'd pay that for awesome shoes. But my dad still needs to give me my $70...

Well, if I ever get around to making a saleable pair, which I hope will be soon, I'll put it up.

they are amazing. BUT I know for a fact, that they will run if they get all wet......

troisnyxetienne In reply to XxKrAzYxKiDxX [2012-07-19 08:14:27 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately, the blue colour will, if you put it in large amounts of water. I haven't seen any other colour run yet even though I've been using these in rainy British weather.

Well that's good.! Not to long ago I sharpies up a pair of chucks and went out and it rained. I was so upset when I looked down at my shoes and my pokemon turned into blobs of color. >.< hope they don't run.!
