We have some cool news here if you want to complete your outfit with a Transformers style. West Coast boutique BAIT and Diadora are offering Licenced Transformers Sneakers.
They are teamed up with Hasbro to bring Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Soundwave to life on a variety of iconic silhouettes.
The 3-way collaboration features two N9000s, an S8000, and the Diadora Aeon, each constructed out of unique premium materials, Autobot and Decepticon metal shields on each heel. 3-way branded logo lock ups adorn each silver foil insole.
For this special release, BAIT and artist Les Schettkoe designed “TV Edition” collectible figures that sport each character.
These sneakers will release on September 9th at all BAIT chapter stores and online via raffle for $230 each.
You can check some key pictures after the jump and then sound off at the 2005 Boards!

As a sneakerhead, I'm crazy excited to see these so well done. Price is eh, but all diadora collabs are about the same price. Soundwave is a guaranteed pickup. Debating what else to pick up.

One word. SNAZZY.

Yikes. I was very excited until I saw the price……yeeeeeaaahhhhhh, I don't think I'll be getting a pair of any of these very sadly

230 bux!? where\'s the jumpman logo?! They look cool, but not $230 cool. lol

I wouldn\'t wear them, for fear of wearing down whatever is on the bottom of the trainers. I would have to buy both Megatron and Optimus versions and probably two of each so I could wear one and keep the other.
Can\'t afford that.

They don't transform; I'm out.
Also, aren't those the BAIT figures that were meant to be released separately…? Are these ones different somehow or are they only exclusives with these shoes now…?

Yeah not shelling out $230 for a chance to win fancy Transformers sneakers.

Those figures look really nice.

The Puma Cabana Racer II were a better Optimus Prime shoe, but it was Animated Prime, and it was unintentional.
Omega Charge
You have to enter a raffle to have a chance to buy, and the pride for a pair is $230. Comes with a special edition vinyl figure designed specially for the release.
Likely a niche audience here, but maybe someone will find this interesting. I actually put my name in for the heck of it. I kinda like the Bumblebee.
