    Is this a Sonic Electronic item?Techincally...no. Sega never made this & had no real hand in it. But, what it IS, is a relic of the past that is at least interesting to have a look at and understand. In various hotels in the USA, you could find this "EZ…

Someone finds a shoe box...but not the shoes?
That's the case here with this vintage 1990s Sonic & Knuckles shoe box. Supposedly, it had a pair of sneakers...but what did they look like? This also COULD be a USA/UK release where you might have (breifly) been able to find them in both places. The art for the box is everywhere, with the lid made to look like a brick wall. It has a bit of strange art going on though. Knuckles is punching through the wall but he has kind of small fists and his arms in a really wierd position? Then, Sonic is obviously modified stock art but they kind of modified him into being worse...look at the tiny hands and then the arms look like they're coming out of his neck? What is he supposed to be doing? The Sega & S&K logos appear at the top and bottom of the lid.

The bottom part of the box is designed too. It has the S&K symbol on the end and a sky scene on the side. It looks like there's maybe surf board Sonic there? But then what is Robotnick doing flying around? What is he even doing? Aside from the wacky art, this shoe box is a mystery because what did the shoes look like, where was it really released, and what company made them are all unanswered.
