Fan Makes Monkey Island Chucks

That's right, more game-related custom shoes. This time, it's the turn of LucasArts classic Monkey Island.

If Katamari Dunks [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/90180] didn't float your boat, maybe these custom Converse All-Stars will be more to your liking.

The shoes are the creation of Maya Plisetskaya, a Spanish LucasArts fan living in Madrid. The shoes depict two scenes from seminal point-and-click Monkey Island, which brought the world Pirate extraordinaire Guybrush Threepwood. For gamers of a certain age, like myself, the shoes stir up some pretty fond memories of the halcyon days when LucasArts made something other than Star Wars games.

Looking at some of these obvious quotes from the game, I so wish I was there to play it.
