Nike Japan and Tomy have teamed up to make this sweet new Transformer, “Convoy,” which transforms from a half-size sneaker into a robot. If only it was wearable. Also — a little continuity problem with the whole sneaker thing, as when Optimus Prime and the gang are rolling to a rumble with the Decepticons and the Convoy is hopping along one-footed behind them, trying to keep up, getting run over, etc.
(Thanks, Kristoffer!)
Update: Christian sez, “The transforming sneaker will not be following Optimus Prime, it IS Optimus Prime. ‘Convoy’ is his Japanese name.”
Update 2:
$cott sez,
“Not to be outdone, Reebok has enlisted Voltron to make a special line of shoes this summer. It’s the new mash-up: streetwear collabs.”
Update 3: Matt sez, “Not to be outdone, the mighty Megatron also has taken the form of footwear.”
