Sega has announced a new Sonic the Hedgehog-branded pair of shoes.
The new pair of kicks is coming via a new partnership with shoemaker Puma. Here’s a teaser at the probably expensive and super-limited sneakers:

While details are scant, a release is set for sometime this June.
The latest classic entry in the series, Sonic Mania, is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch. In case you missed it, you can find my review for Sonic Mania here (I absolutely love and recommend the game!).
