Target has gaming underwear, do you?

September 2nd, 2009 No Comments   Posted in Casual, Culture, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360


It seems that our buds over at Joystiq recently found themselves shopping at Target only to find a rack featuring nothing other than video game underwear. As you can see there’s Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Halo and more.

Although, the worst part about this is that there are no video game underwear made specifically for women. What gives?

TapouT, a clothing brand geared towards the mixed-martial-arts community, has announced today that they will be creating shirts based on the Tekken 6 video game. These same designs will also be available in-game for characters to wear.

“Tekken 6 and TapouT fans share a deep-rooted passion for the mixed-martial-arts lifestyle,” said Namco Bandai’s Makoto Iwai “This partnership will bring TapouT’s signature style into the world of Tekken, giving new experiences to video game enthusiasts and MMA fans alike.”

Hopefully these shirts won’t look as awful as Ecko’s Halo shirts. The new clothing line will go on sale this September.

Are you a fan of Ecko clothing? I’m not, but I’m a fan of Halo effectively making the above shirts at least kind of cool.

Seriously though, what you see above a collection of 6 Halo-inspired Ecko t-shirts that are now available for purchase. They are priced from 32-38 dollars and feature Master Chief aimin’, shootin’ and (most importantly) posin’.

Sure, I have to give it Ecko for making a few cool designs but as for the rest, well, I think Kotaku puts it best when they said they look like “designs that you would expect to see adorning an unlicensed beach towel in a South-East Asian marketplace.

Sony has recently announced that they’ve teamed up with Nike to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Playstation 2’s launch in Japan. Yes, it has been that long.

Anyways, what you see above is the Playstation Air Force 1 from Nike. Don’t expect to see this pair in your local shoe market as only 50 of them will be produced. And, apparently, those 50 pairs will be given to Sony execs, press, and VIPs. Bummer.

But wait, there is an auction up on eBay that has the very first pair of the Playstation Air Force 1s ever produced. How much are they goin’ for? Well, the bid is at $2,135 as of writing this article and the auction doesn’t end until the 24th.
