I'm a lot like you in the respect that I usually stick with boots. It's a 75/25 split with me. If we badger Brahma or Carhart hard enough maybe we can get a Dinobot line in dark grey.
Until such time, set aside a pair of 10 1/2 Soundwaves for me folks.

1) Are these going to be available in the US and in brick and mortar stores?
2) Will these be in adult sizes?

To answer your second question first, yes, it looks that way.
As for your first question, I don't know but I sure hope so. I must have some size 9 1/2 Soundwaves!
(yeah, i've got small feet, but you know what? they won't sell out of 9 1/2s!)
Posted by redsky on July 1st, 2009 @ 2:31am CDT
Don't think tho that they make so many sizes of these... and in worst case they make only "child sizes."

Any idea on price?? These are the sickest shoes ever.....

^ Agreed. I gotta get those Megs.

Haha. Thanks. I guess this could ultimately pave the way for a whole shoe themed franchise of Transformers.
Shoeperion
Omega Shoepreme
And a less popular Sandalstorm.

Does anyone else think that the black/grey balance on the Megatron shoe is a little out of whack compared to the picture on the box. I think it's actually better that way but then I'm partial to black anyway.

Does this mean I can look forward to a Michael Johnson version of the Bumblebee shoe (the yellow portion gold chromed, the soles more of a bluish gray) called the Goldbug?
If so, hook me up with size 11.5 US, s'il vous plait.
(Pretty s'il vous plait, with cerises on top?)
I'm also digging the Soundwave.
I'd really tear up a dance floor if someone made a Fortress Maximus shoe (no, really. "Size 90", according to Spike), or made Heelys based on the Throttlebots and Battlechargers.

Thanks for the link RD. Good pix. I really want a pair of SWs, but Comic-con is fast approaching & i need to save. Might buy the Shout factory Matrix set dvd & other stuff. Couple more movies i wanna see this summer too.

Cheaper than what I usually pay for new balances. Isn't this the going price for sneakers any way? I hope they come in widths.

Unfortunately, there are already mass lines at the three U.S. locations these are releasing (Footlocker "House of Hoops" in NYC, LA, and CHI).
Prices on eBay are varying from $250 (Bumblebee and Soundwave) to $300 (Megatron)
Hopefully prices go down to around $180-220 once the initial release is over.

And sign me up once the hype dies down a little along with the price gouging on ebay. Cheapest for the Megs or the Soundwaves I can find is $229 in a size 10.5
