LAVAIR X SEGA MEGA DRIVE

By

Sega does what Nintendon’t? Actually, Nintendo have already done the whole ‘cross’ pollination with iconic streetwear brands (like the one with Vans). Sega have also done the same with their famous blue mascot when they crossed him with Puma. Well, now it is Sega’s 16-bit classic console, the Mega Drive, that gets the streetwear treatment with the new Lavair X Mega Drive range!

We must admit, we had never heard of Lavair till today (perhaps we are showing our age!), so at least we have learned something new! So here they are, the Lavair X Mega Drive runners (or sneakers if that is your preference), which we reckon capture the colours perfectly of Sega’s flagship Japanese Mega Drive with the Analog runner and the Mono runner which capture the PAL Mega Drive. If you are more into baseball hats, then you are in luck, as they have the Analog and Mono hats for you to choose from too. The Lavair x Mega Drive is a limited-edition themed collaboration, so we expect these products to go quite quickly, just like Sonic, boom!

PUMA x SEGA RS-0 SONIC

UPDATE: Please note that these sneakers are now sold out!

Just in case you’ve just arrived back to this planet, Puma has collaborated with Sega to bring us some very cool Sonic The Hedgehog inspired shoes, sneakers, runners or whatever the hell you wanna call them.

We couldn’t resist so we went online and bought the Puma x Sega RS-0 Sonic sneakers. It was a tough choice but we decided to go with Sega’s blue blur shoes instead of the Eggman (Ed: getting both pairs would have been the right answer!).

What do you guys think of these Sonic inspired shoes? Do you like both pairs or do you prefer one over the other? Join in the conversation on Twitter or Facebook.

 

SEGA Space Harrier Model Sneakers

By

Holy cow! These SEGA Space Harrier MODEL runners (sneakers if you are from the North) have totally blown our minds!

Just take a good hard look at these sweet-as-f* runners! To say we love the Sega Space Harrier MODEL runners would be a huge understatement! Even if you are not a Space Harrier fan (Ed: say what?), you have to admit that these are pretty damn cool. We wonder if Yu Suzuki has a pair *pondering*?
