I like the designer interview where they say something like, “now that shoelaces are an official Lego part, we are excited to see what people build with them.”

Not my thing, but I might pick one up to flip to some hypebeast in a couple years when the price inexplicably doubles.

Lots of people like shoes. The build looks good. Packaging is clever, too. Not for me, but I like it!

The comments on Brickset are hilarious, also. A few people criticizing the model itself, but massively more people just saying "real shoes are cheaper" or "why didn't they spend this effort on [theme/set I personally prefer]"

I always figured Lego does these types of sets to try to bring new people to the brand. If you think this won't be popular with sneaker heads, you've got another thing coming. So Lego's usual clientele won't be buying it up, but those sneaker weirdos will. Lego's usual clientele isn't going anywhere, but a few sneaker people may start buying more Lego sets, ya know? I think it's the same thing with the Friends set, or flowers set, or etc. etc. These sets aren't for me, but if they get Lego some more regular buyers then it seems good for the business.

The sneaker set is the most ingenious set Lego's ever produced. I couldn't care less, but it's a shot across the bow of all OCD AFOLs. "C'mon...buy two. You just *know* that a ~single shoe~ sitting on your display shelf is gonna bug the everloving gently caress out of you. Shoes come in twos! Everyone knows that. Now get out your credit card and do what we both know is inevitable."

Oh poo poo, I just assumed it was a pair for some reason. Brutal and brilliant. And they'd have to build the second as a mirror of the instructions - sadistic.

The real question is, what additional parts will you need to rebuild your new pair of shoes to be wearable?

Maybe I'm crazy or something, but while building the Daily Bugle, something seemed off to me - the front modular connection points didn't seem lined up to me, I thought maybe I was being a bad judge, but then I counted the studs, then re-counted, then double-checked I didn't build anything wrong:  Maybe not the best picture(s) but I don't want to have to set it up again. I'm almost certain I didn't build this wrong, its 4 2x2 tiles, then the 1x2, then the 1xwhatever light grey curb. Easy enough to fix myself, (though, it will cause tiles to not be lined up as nice) but feels odd to see this kind of error? It's like finding a missing piece; i'm so used to it being user error, that I'm still convinced I'm looking at this wrong.

Just the fact that it's cut off-center would drive me loving mad.

Lined up perfectly. I only tried one side, though. I'm guessing you've made a booboo somewhere.

Lego can refer to their product however they want, but they really need to stop correcting people for saying Legos lol. It's honestly just sort of annoying like 98% of people say Legos just deal with it.

Jk that is nonsense. it's like McDonalds reminding people that call it Mickey D's that it's "actually McDonald's" and they should start saying McDonald's instead. or any of the other thousands of name brands that have nicknames. Except with Lego it makes even more sense than that to call them Legos, because it's Lego, and you have a bunch of them, so they are legos. Like, why does anyone on earth actually care about this sheesh.
