Etsy seller PrettySneaky can make these custom Converse sneaks in any size, and since she did this pair as an original commission, I bet you could get her to make your favorite video game characters instead.&#8230;]]></description>

The handsets are not really made of gold – they&#8217;re &#8220;just&#8221; decorated with Japanese gold lacquerwork, and they do look amazing.&#8230;]]></description>
