Shoes combine Godzilla and ukiyo-e

Recently, we brought you the news that you can now view an online animated sketchbook version of works by famous Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai. But what if you’re not content just looking at beautiful art online? What if you could see it every time you look down at your feet? Well, with these awesome printed sneakers from TeeFury.com, you can get some culture into your wardrobe while still looking cool!

Oh, and as an added bonus, they’ve stuck Godzilla’s ugly monster mush into the design, too.

The “Godzilla in the great wave” image was created by artist Marco Mottura, and we reported on it last summer when the design was first made available as a print. Mr. Mottura has now collaborated with TeeFury.com to bring his signature design to a pair of seriously sweet sneakers.

Priced at $79.99 per pair, the sneakers can be ordered through the website. They come in a wide range of both men’s and women’s sizes, and the best news is that they ship all over the world.

You can also order T-shirts with the print on from the same website.
