@Meta4iCAL...i don't know what your thoughts are with adidas sambas, but you can customize your own:

those are pretty fucking sick...i would get those in a heartbeat but i don't know about paying $235
that's a crap load of money for some shoes, and i'll admit that i've paid $200+ for some shoes but i don't think i'd do that again
