Mother of all Jumbo Collections and Mazinger Cowboy Boots...!!

The legendary Super Collector Erik Sjoen (aka Chairman Sjoen) of ToyboxDX fame was super cool to bring over his amazing collection of Jumbos for the Super 7 Shogun Stormtrooper Release Party on Saturday. To see all of them lined up gave a great sense of history and lineage that the Stormtrooper attempts to perpetuate.

Now this was crazy too. One of Alex's buddy is this dude named Chris. (Not Kris with a K). His favorite character in the entire universe is Mazinger. He also loves Cowboy wear so when he heard about this boot maker in Texas that does custom boots, he decided to have a pair of Mazinger Boots made up...! It took 2 years, but as you can see, they are incredible...

Hey thanks for plugging the boots! Just in case anyone is interested, the Bootmaker is George Millward, and here's his website
http://www.cowboybootsbygeorge.com/
It actually only took a year and a half and George is in Idaho. Awesome guy, and pretty unique way to show your love. Tattoos are way to common, dude show the love with boots! Now that's making a statement! Loved the release party and if you are on the fence with the Shogun, give in!

How would I be able to submit a Mazinger sneaker idea to Nike, if they refuse to even look at outsider's ideas? I think these kicks will fly off the shelves! I'm not interested in money...just a couple of free pairs (if made, of course) . Thanks!
