If you consider yourself a true gamer there is no way you can live without a pair of these [shoes designed by Brass Monki](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xbox-x-crocs).

These brightly vivid shoes each display a different [video game or character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freizeit) doing what they do best. The [Zelda shoe design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shadow-classic-clog) features the heroic Link lashing out with a sword while the Luigi shoes show the mustached plumber yelling out in a "mama mia" fashion. Get to making beats with your feet by slipping into the Donkey Shoes which feature the drum-banging monkey in a pose of epic proportions. If you're more for the relaxing type of shoe, try on the Snorlax shoes which spotlight the big guy taking a nap as usual.

Whether you're a gamer or not, it's easy to appreciate the sick artwork done on these shoes by Brass Monki.
