It's not often that 26th Anniversaries are acknowledged, but Sega did just that when it teamed up with Japanese sneaker manufacturer Anippon to celebrate the birthday of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Together, the two have released limited edition slip-on sneakers inspired by Sonic's "Gotta Go Fast" shoes from the video game franchise. They feature re leather construction, a white leather interior, midfoot cross-strap and white cupsole. Identifying the backstory, 'Sonic the Hedgehog' is embroidered on the heels.

Pairs are available now annipon.jp for about $60 before shipping and fees.
