Comic Strip Kicks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Calvin and Hobbes Sneaker will Delight Fans of the Quirky Cartoon

— September 6, 2011 — Fashion
Seeing the Calvin and Hobbes Sneaker really makes me happy because it's good to see someone like Aaron Nason pay homage to one of the funniest comic strips of all time.

Calvin and Hobbes is a hilarious comic strip that primarily features the adventures of an eight-year-old boy and his stuffed tiger. Nason is paying tribute to one of the most imaginative and unusually adult characters of all time by immortalizing him in footwear. The Calvin and Hobbes Sneaker features graphics of both characters as well as some memorable lines from some of the comics. The back heel features a tiger strip as a nod to Hobbes, which is a neat little detail anyone can appreciate.

What better way to show some love for one of the quirkiest comics of all time?
