Anytime you find yourself sitting down, just swing your foot up and resume your important thumbing technique.

**Implications** - This creative pair of heels combines a unique array of elements that would make anyone take a second look. The combination of gaming and fashion pushes the geek chic trend to new levels with these shoes, showing that fashion is incorporating geek culture into its current and future lines.
