Nice Boots

Let's face it--Snake Plissken is a lot cooler than you are. He's got 100% more eyepatch, 200% more heavy firearms, and 100% more hott leather buckle boots. That's 400% more coolness than the average fellow on the street, by my accounting.

Well, the fine folks at Motor Cowboy want to help even the odds just a little bit by selling you a custom-made replica of Snake's boots from "Escape from New York." Next time you have a spare $600 lying around, I recommend paying them a visit. FYI--they also offer a variety of eyepatch-optional styles.

For reference, here's the rest of the outfit that's intended to go with those boots, folks:

Those would go so well with my cycle... Even if it is a baby Ninja.

I'll add another 100% to your math for an even 5Cs - Being Kurt Russell will bump up anyone's average!

they can keep the boots. i want that clunky digital countdown watch he wore in Escape that told him how much time he had left to complete the mission. thing was awesome.

and remember how bigass his walkie talkie was. yikes!

I almost had Greg sold on these as replacements for his boots that burned up, but I think the price tag is a bit steep even if it would endow him with Pliskin-esque attitude.

I tried wearing an eyepatch, but I kept bumping into things.

Darius, I'm going to go ahead and APPROVE that extra 100%--good catch!

When Is Evil Cool--I'm thinking you should pitch a whole line of "Escape from New York" lifestyle accessories. If fashionistas can bring harem pants and jumpsuits back into fashion for this spring, I see no reason why ginormous digital watches shouldn't be next!

Jack--I recommend plying Greg with whiskey and they re-approaching the topic. It's worked in the past...!

Pierre--I hear you. That's the reason why I am not wearing a monocle *right now*, sir! Dang my dependance on binocular vision :/
