The Nike Street Fighter Pack Brings Shoryuken to the Streets

Gaming nerds and sneakerheads are going to flip for the new Nike Street Fighter Pack. The dreams of millions of gamers just came true.

Chun Li and Ryu are the most iconic characters from the venerable Street Fighter video game series. The Nike Street Fighter Pack comes in either a Ryu high or a Chun Li low. Video games have been inspiring everything from books to movies, and now you can add shoes to that list. Hopefully the Street Fighter pack does well. I wouldn't mind seeing more Street Fighter-inspired shoes.
