It was just a short period of time ago during the month of March that the world was first teased with initial images of SEGA and Puma’s collaborative Sonic the Hedgehog sneakers. The initial pixelated imagery left a lot to the imagination, but it wasn’t until earlier today that we finally got our first real look at the RS-0 Sonic and RS-0 Dr. Eggman sneakers, as well as their release date and price point. Set to hit the streets on June 5, 2018, at a total cost of $130 USD, the sneakers are a mostly subtle throwback to a couple of gamings most iconic characters.
Initial impressions of the sneakers are scattered and mixed, with some in love with the inspired designs and colorways, while others are finding faults in the “high price point” and material choices. While I sit on the positive side of the fence when it comes to this one, I will admit I’m not exactly jumping at the initial images of the materials, though that could change when I actually get to see a pair of these sneakers in person. I can’t picture everyone picking these up as everyday pieces, but I’m sure any fan of the series could incorporate them quite well.
Set to be made available worldwide from June 5 at a price point of $130 USD, you’ll likely want to jump on these early before they sell out. Those interested in picking up a pair can make their way to the official website for further information.
