The first official trailer for the
Sonic the Hedgehog movie released back in April and was met with harsh backlash for featuring an eery and realistic take on the titular speedster. Thankfully, the movie's director announced a delay in order to for them to have a second try at bringing the iconic character design to life. The second time around, it was received much more fondly.
Sonic had been entirely redone and made more appealing. It wasn't only his face and body that had been redesigned but also his red shoes. These new shoes nicely matched those of the source material and featured the PUMA sportswear brand's logo on them (via
Gamefragger).
Well, PUMA recently took to social media to tease that they're soon going to be bringing these shoes to life. Their official Instagram story recently featured a promotional clip which featured
Sonic the Hedgehog trying on his iconic shoes atop a PUMA shoebox. If that wasn't overt enough, the words
"Coming soon," then flash onto the screen.
