The line, dubbed Segakawaii, seems pretty strongly targeted toward females, but that $145 DC controller backpack would make a sweet throw pillow in my living room.

Astro Gaming, more commonly recognized for their top-of-the-line gaming headsets, has branched out into apparel and launched their first collection. Their hats and graphic tees look more like something you’d find at a skate shop rather than something from the closet of your typical gamer, proving that just because you’re a total geek doesn’t mean you have to dress like one.
Check out their video lookbook below. I want that backback!

Transshoesformers is an art project by James Visaya where he turns old sneakers into Transformer-style robots. The bots above were made using a Nike Air Flight Huarache OG and an OG Asics Gel-Lyte III. Hopefully they were never worn and don’t have feet stank.

Japanese watch manufacturer Seiko just unleashed the fury of their new Star Wars collection upon the unsuspecting masses. The R2-D2 display with hi-res display is pretty fresh, but if you’d rather wear your geek pride on your sleeve in a way that doesn’t scream “Hey! Look at me! I LOVE GEEK SHIT!,” the other designs are a bit more subtle. There’s Darth Vader, a Stormtrooper, Yoda, and C-3PO, all ranging from $1739 to $1805 USD.

Capcom teamed up with fashion label Punk Drunkers to make some limited edition Rockman apparel including the ballin’-ass hoodie pictured above. The sleeve turns into a Mega Buster, fools!!! And that black one is all kinds of hot. 14,700 yen ($189 US) is pretty steep though.
The t-shirts will set you back 5,250 yen ($67 US).
Kind of glad I don’t have that kind of money to throw around right now because I’d probably wear the hoodie everywhere and “pew-pew” complete strangers in public. Who wouldn’t though, am I right?
