Things We Saw Today: Poe Dameron-Themed Shoes Redefine “Fly Kicks”

So, okay. I’m definite a “Converse and jeans” type of girl, and while I’m not much for ostentatious displays of color (read: I only ever wear black or grey), I had to do a double take when these Poe Dameron-themed Po-zu shoes came across my desktop. While I’m still on the fence as to whether I’d rock these kicks or not, I have to ask: what do you think of ’em? (via Fashionably Geek)

• Awesome Games Done Quick has raised money for plenty of worthy causes, and they’re back at it again tomorrow, Sunday, January 8th. You can catch all the stunning speedrun action over on their Twitch channel. (via Polygon)
• Were you lucky enough to grab an NES Classic when they went on sale last month? If so, you’ve got a pretty solid gaming vessel on your hands, and thanks to some ROM hackers, you can jailbreak it and upload whatever game you’d like to play onto the tiny system. Nice. (via BoingBoing)
• Netflix is often synonymous with smash-hit television shows, but every success must, indeed, come with failure. Business Insider rounded up the only four television shows that Netflix has ever cancelled.
• Mercury looks really, really pretty. But you can’t touch it lest you want to pick up good ol’ Mercury poisoning. To satisfy your desire for liquidy metals, why not check out Gallium? (via Business Insider)

What’d you see today, pal?
