Star of Two 'Space Jam' Movies Gets Shoe Deal
Unofficially of Course, Doc
Ah Bugs Bunny. The King of Cool. The Sultan of Wit. Able to disarm even the most armed of Elmer Fudds. However you slice it, Bugs was (and is) an iconic cartoon character. A bit more “at-tit-tude” than his contemporaries, his irreverence has made him both a cult and crossover favorite. I’ll pause on my gushing for now because I don’t want to bury the lede, but WHAT ARE THOSE??
BB.IMP and these “Grey Bugs” are directly (but in the legal sense, not too directly) inspired by Bugs fuggin’ Bunny. As somebody with big feet, I thought the goal was NOT to have your feet looking like they belonged in a cartoon but I digress. These have the white oversized soles, the grey uppers, and the “fur” pattern that’s going to make some heads turn. Although I’m not sure if it’s going to invoke comparisons of “Bugs Bunny” in the wild as much as I believe it’ll invoke condolences for having to wear a medical boot.
I mean imagine playing pick-up basketball with some dude wearing these and then he has the nerve to dunk on you without even saying “What’s Up, Doc?” first. What if you buy these but your girl is mad with you because you didn’t cop the Lola Bunny’s to match? All I have are questions. But the biggest question I have is, why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?! I mean, Bugs was in not one but TWO Space Jam movies:
The star of his own line of video games
Hell, he was even the mentor of one of my favorite cartoon characters growing up in Buster Bunny. The rabbit has done it all. It’s about high time someone puts some ‘spect on the dude. And if we are going to have an army of fashion novas, influencers, and dads ironically trying to be cool wearing feet replicas of Bugs, I say so be it.
The best part is, this wasn’t even the first drop of this shape. Earlier this summer we had the black ones.
But we want the gray, man. We want the GRAY!
