Quality. If the NES works I'll be even more impressed. If you can still wear the trainers and the NES works, I'll be having words with Santa and his magic elves. I want a PC Engine in the left shoe.

Now there's something you don't see every day. Nice mod but pretty pointless if it doesn't work, which I hope it does :)

From modding my own NES toaster decks I can say without a doubt that does not work. There's not enough room to fit the motherboard in there. It's an art piece, nothing more.

Looks cool. The only way it would work is if he used a Top loader (Oh the horror!) Or a pirate system, Or a Generation NEX (If that would work)

Famiclone (NoaC) in the sole is the only thing small enough that would work.

I think Bratwurst is right i.e - It's an object d'art, so I'll critique it as such: Running the control cable through the lace eyelets is a nice touch. The power and reset buttons look like they've been shaved down and simply glued above the sole. LED's would have been nice. And if we're making a Nike athletic shoe into an NES, is it too much to ask a more appropriate cartridge than Super Mario Bros be used such as Track & Field?

Meh.


It doesn't matter if this works. It doesn't matter that you can't buy it. All that matters is that it exists.

I could stick a Burgertime cart inside a large whole-wheat bun. Granted, it exists, but that doesn't necessarily make my creative work worth anyone's attention.

Pretty cool, it would be even sweeter if it worked.
