Pee-Wee Herman

Back in the day, I never watched Pee-Wee's Playhouse, but I did see Pee-Wee's Big Adventure when it originally came out in 1985. We all pretty much know what happened to Paul "Pee-Wee" Reubens in the early 90's. Poor Pee-Wee.

It looks like he's making a comeback: today Boing Boing showed a pair of sneakers that Nike is putting out based on the Pee-Wee Herman gray suit and red bowtie. The colors actually look pretty good.


The best thing about the shoes are the insoles, which depict Pee-Wee sitting by himself in a movie theatre:


This is the best idea I've seen today. Who knew Nike could be so clever?
