Mad Foot is raising the bar for video game and shoe company collaboration pieces with the Mad Pac-Man. The Mad Pac-Man is a high-top shoe covered in canvas and designed specifically for those with Pac-Man fever.
The Mad Pac-Man is not designed for casual fans of Namco's classic arcade game. This shoe is covered in Pac-Man characters from head-to-toe. Mad Foot has taken a pretty big leap of faith in my opinion. Slathering Pac-Man characters all over this shoe will no doubt interest hardcore players, but it could also alienate casual fans. Either way, you have got to hand it to Mad Foot for having the bravery to give Pac-Man his own shoe. Mad Foot is set to start taking pre-orders for the shoe at $100, with delivery scheduled for some time in August.
